How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | Lower Gulf export flows and repeated tanker attacks increase the probability of physical supply tightness. | Up1-5d | Reuters reported Hormuz flows at about 60% of normal and Brent near six-month highs. |
| BDTI | More attacks and constrained navigation increase the compensation required to move crude by tanker. | Up1-5d | Reuters described October as the worst month for commercial-shipping attacks around Hormuz. |
| Z=F | Disrupted crude and product logistics can tighten distillate availability and support gasoil prices. | Up1-4w | ANZ Research said global distillate inventories were nearly 5% below their five-year average. |
| KOSPI | South Korean shipping and manufacturing exposure to Gulf energy logistics increases input-cost and supply-chain risk. | Down1-5d | Iran specifically threatened legal action against South Korean operator Sinokor vessels and Hormuz flows were reported below normal. |
