It’s all headlines about missiles and military moves in the Israel-Iran conflict, but a hidden threat lurks at sea, right where it can hurt you most—right where it could hurt your wallet most. Strait of Hormuz, that narrow pinch point where 20% of the world’s oil sails through daily, could soon turn Wall Street’s calm into chaos.
The markets have shrugged off risks so far, assuming nobody is reckless enough to choke the global economy.

With one misstep—or intentional blockade—oil prices could go over $100 per barrel overnight. Get ready for a pricey reality check tomorrow if you ignore Hormuz today.
