Who Pays When the Strait of Hormuz Closes — and Who Profits from It
A narrow passage on which far too much depends The Strait of Hormuz is one of those places on the map that does not look especially impressive at first glance, but in reality carries a large part of the world economy on its shoulders. In normal times, about 20 million barrels of oil and petroleum products pass through it every day — roughly a fifth of global consumption of liquid hydrocarbons. About 20% of global trade in liquefied natural gas also moves through it, above all from Qatar. That is why, when the strait closes or even simply comes under threat, it stops being a regional story and very quickly turns into a problem for half the world. That is also why the question of “who gets hit” actually means several different things at once. Some lose physical access to supplies, others are hit by a price shock, still others are forced to urgently look for alternative routes, while a fourth group suddenly starts making more money simply because their oil and gas rise in price along with the rest of the market. In its March and April materials, the IMF wrote directly that an actual closure of the strait had already cut off about 20% of the world’s oil and seaborne LNG and had become a global shock, not just a Middle Eastern crisis.

Color
Color fascinates me, and I’m sure it always will. I’ve been told it’s only light reflecting off the surface of things, but to me, it means so much more. My world has so little color in it that every sparkle of yellow, flash of red, glimmer of green, or shimmer of blue is a treasure to be kept locked in my memory. You see, I spend twelve hours a day, six days a week, 300 feet underground, encased in blackness. In 1854, it is where I and several hundred of my fellow villagers earn our livings.
