I. The 'Disruption Crisis' of Energy Lifeline
Oil Supply Cliff
The Strait of Hormuz accounts for 38% of global oil transportation (21 million barrels per day), a blockade would lead to:
Brent crude oil prices may break $200 per barrel within 48 hours (Goldman Sachs forecast model)
European refineries will face a 30% raw material gap, and diesel prices may skyrocket by 50%
Alternative Route Analysis:
Saudi East-West oil pipeline's maximum capacity is only 6.5 million barrels/day, unable to fill the gap
Russian Arctic shipping capacity increased to 2 million barrels/day, but transit time increases by 15 days
Natural Gas Chain Reaction
Qatar's liquefied natural gas (which accounts for 30% of global exports) transportation interrupted, European natural gas prices may soar by 300% within a week
Japan's nuclear power restart plans are forced to be delayed, and structural shortages will appear in the Asian electricity market
II. The 'Domino Effect' of Geopolitics
U.S. Military Response Simulation
The Fifth Fleet enters a state of readiness, B-2 stealth bombers deployed to Qatar
Possible 'Surgical Strikes':
Destroy Iranian Revolutionary Guard's naval power (300 fast boat fleet)
Targeted elimination of strategic sites such as the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant
Strategic Layout of China-Russia
China accelerates the promotion of 'Petro-Yuan' settlement, with Shanghai crude oil futures potentially absorbing a 200% increase in Middle Eastern oil volume
Russia provides Iran with S-500 air defense systems, and the Caspian Fleet enters wartime patrol
Escalation of the Middle Eastern Proxy War
Israel may launch 'Operation Odyssey Dawn'-style airstrikes to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities
Houthi forces block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, causing a paralysis of global container shipping by 20%
III. Global Economic 'Thrombotic' Impact
Supply Chain Disruption Map
Specific impact data on affected sectors support that the petrochemical industry's Asian PTA capacity utilization drops to 60%. The China Chemical Industry Association warns that global daily production in automobile manufacturing decreases by 100,000 units (due to plastic part shortages). Toyota/Volkswagen supply chain report indicates agricultural fertilizer imports from India are interrupted, leading to a 15% reduction in grain production as per UN Food and Agriculture Organization assessment.
Doomsday Carnival in Financial Markets
Gold prices may break through $3,500 per ounce (resonating with the gold rush in Iran in 2025)
New York crude oil futures daily volatility exceeds 20%, and implied volatility of options reaches historical highs
The MSCI Global Index may plunge 8% in a single day, energy stocks rise against the trend while the financial sector collapses
IV. China's Strategic Response
Energy Security Defense Line
Initiate 'Phase III of Strategic Petroleum Reserve Project', releasing 120 million barrels of reserves to stabilize prices
The China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline's capacity increased to 20 million tons/year, while the China-Russia natural gas pipeline's pressure increased to 38 billion cubic meters/year
Breakthrough of Digital Currency
The transaction volume of the digital RMB cross-border payment system (CIPS) may increase by 400%
Shanghai Gold Exchange launches 'Digital Gold' contracts, with annual gold purchases by the central bank exceeding 10,000 tons
Hedging of New Infrastructure
The Northwest Wind Large Base is accelerating its construction, with the proportion of green electricity rising to 35% by 2025
Subsidies for hydrogen heavy trucks raised to 500,000 yuan/vehicle, replacing diesel transportation demand
V. Conclusion and Operational Recommendations
Most Likely Scenario (Probability 55%):
Blockade lasts 72-120 hours, international mediation forces Iran to partially open the strait
Brent crude oil spikes to a range of $150-180, BTC's safe-haven properties highlighted or may break $120,000
Extreme Risk Warning (Probability 30%):
Conflict escalates to sixth-generation warfare (drone swarms + cyber attacks), global supply chains are completely restructured
Recommendation: Increase holdings in uranium mining ETFs (such as URA) and lay out underground data centers
Historical Reflection:
During the 1973 oil crisis, the Dow Jones Index plummeted by 48%, while gold surged by 230%
In March 2020, during Saudi price wars, BTC plunged 50% before entering a bull market
