Why the Strait of Hormuz Matters

On a normal day, approximately 20% of the world's crude oil supply — around 20 million barrels — transits through the Strait of Hormuz. It is the single most important oil chokepoint on the planet. Any disruption sends immediate shockwaves through global energy markets, inflation expectations, and equity valuations worldwide.

About the Iran War Market Screener

The Iran War Market Screener is a live financial intelligence dashboard aggregating market signals related to the US–Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping. The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most strategically critical oil chokepoint — approximately 20% of global petroleum supplies and 25% of global LNG exports transit through it every day.

The dashboard integrates WTI crude oil candlestick prices, prediction market probabilities from Polymarket (covering ceasefire odds, Hormuz normalization, $150 crude oil, and US naval escort scenarios), country ETF performance data cross-referenced with energy trade balance metrics, and thematic stock baskets for sectors with direct exposure.

Energy-exporting nations such as Norway (ENOR), Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Canada (EWC) are structurally positioned to benefit from elevated oil prices. Conversely, large energy importers including South Korea (EWY), Japan (EWJ), Thailand (THD), Taiwan (EWT), and Vietnam (VNM) face increased input cost pressures that weigh on equity valuations and currency stability.

Frequently Asked Questions: Iran War & Market Impact

Answers are generated from live market data — figures update automatically as prices change.

How has WTI crude oil performed since the Iran war began?
WTI crude oil (CL1!) surged after the US–Iran conflict escalated on February 28, 2026. The Strait of Hormuz closure removed ~20 million barrels per day from global shipping lanes — an immediate and severe supply shock.
Which country ETFs benefit most from the Iran war and oil price spike?
Loading live data... Energy-exporting nations (Norway, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Canada) structurally benefit from higher oil revenues.
Which country ETFs are most hurt by the Strait of Hormuz crisis?
Loading live data... Large oil importers (South Korea, Japan, India, Taiwan, Thailand) structurally suffer from higher oil prices.
What is the Polymarket probability of a US–Iran ceasefire?
The live Polymarket embeds above show real-money prediction market probabilities for: a US–Iran ceasefire, Hormuz traffic normalization, WTI crude reaching $150/barrel, and US naval escorts through the strait. These odds update continuously and serve as a real-time leading indicator of geopolitical risk sentiment.
Which US industries perform best when oil prices spike?
Based on the live industry leaderboard above, XOP (oil & gas exploration) and CRAK (oil refining) are among the top performers. Oil refiners — Marathon Petroleum, Valero Energy, and Phillips 66 — benefit from wider crack spreads. See the full ranking in the Best & Worst US Industries section above.
What is the Strait of Hormuz and why does it matter for markets?
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea. Approximately 20% of the world's crude oil and 25% of global LNG transits through it daily. Any disruption — blockade, mining, or military threats — creates an immediate global oil supply shock with cascading effects on inflation, equity markets, currency valuations, and geopolitical risk premiums.
How do airlines and cruise lines perform during the oil shock?
Airlines and cruise lines are among the most negatively impacted sectors. Jet fuel represents 20–30% of airline operating costs; cruise lines spend 12–15% on fuel. Check the Airlines and Cruise Lines baskets in the Stock Baskets section above for live performance of United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Carnival Corporation, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, and Royal Caribbean.
How are fertilizer and defense stocks affected by the Iran war?
~49% of global urea exports transit through or near the Hormuz region — disruption benefits producers like CF Industries (CF) and Mosaic (MOS). Defense contractors (LMT, NOC, RTX, KTOS, KRMN) benefit from increased geopolitical risk and elevated defense spending expectations. See both baskets in the Stock Baskets section above for live price performance.
