| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT | Reduced passage through a route carrying a large share of global energy supplies tightens expected availability | Up1-5d | Reuters reported Hormuz flows at about 60% of normal and Gulf crude exports falling for a fourth straight week |
| BDTI | Lower transit availability and heightened attack risk increase tanker freight demand and risk compensation | Up1-5d | October was reported as the worst month for commercial-shipping attacks in the strait and nearby waterways |
| RBOB | Disrupted crude logistics raise the replacement cost of refined petroleum products | Up1-4w | The reported flow reduction affects a major crude-supply corridor and coincides with below-average global distillate inventories |
