#以色列伊朗冲突 Oil Supply Cliff
The Strait of Hormuz accounts for 38% of global crude oil transportation (an average of 21 million barrels per day), a blockade would lead to:
Brent crude oil prices may exceed $200/barrel within 48 hours (Goldman Sachs forecast model)
European refineries will face a 30% raw material shortfall, and diesel prices could surge by 50%
Alternative route analysis:
Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline has a maximum capacity of only 6.5 million barrels/day, unable to fill the gap
Russia's Arctic route capacity increased to 2 million barrels/day, but travel time is extended by 15 days
Natural Gas Chain Reaction
Qatar's liquefied natural gas (accounting for 30% of global supply)
