Energy Analysts: Serial and Open Transit in the Strait of Hormuz Not Possible Until the End of 2027

Energy analysts predict that the Strait of Hormuz will not operate freely and openly until late 2027. Current geopolitical tensions and potential disruptions in the region continue to place significant pressure on the global energy supply chain. This situation points to long-term uncertainty at one of the most critical nodes of international trade and maritime transport.

A scenario where the strait is closed or severely restricted brings along alarming estimates for global oil markets. According to analysts, in such a case, crude oil prices could skyrocket to 200 dollars per barrel. Additionally, gasoline prices could climb to unprecedented levels, reaching up to 7.00 dollars per gallon.

These predictions leave no hope for energy costs to decrease in the near future for consumers and industrial organizations. The path that the global economy and, particularly, energy-dependent sectors will take during this process will be determined depending on the course of regional developments.
