My take on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz:

The impact of a Strait of Hormuz closure appears overstated in many discussions.

Roughly 80% (about 16 million bpd) of the normal ~20 million barrels per day flowing through the strait has already been replaced or rerouted through alternative means.Image Why it matters: This significantly reduces the potential disruption compared to earlier assumptions about a total shutdown.
