🔑 Enhanced Key Takeaways
- •Goldman Sachs estimates a $14 per barrel oil risk premium as of March 3, 2026, corresponding to a full four-week halt in Strait of Hormuz flows, potentially declining to $4 if only half flows are halted for one month.[1]
- •Brent crude has surged above $90 per barrel, the highest since 2023, with potential for further increases if Gulf countries like Kuwait suspend oil production amid regional drone and missile strikes on infrastructure.[2]
- •The conflict risks disrupting 19% of global LNG supply through Hormuz, potentially driving up European gas and global LNG prices significantly.[1]
