Oil prices are expected to immediately rise 10% to start. Hopefully this goes well and the Strait is opened again very shortly but there is a real risk we get some inflation.So is it closed out of caution from these companies or Iran? If the first that's understandable and should resolve itself. I read something about insurance but I was skimming past it.

As long as there is a credible threat the shipping companies won't expose their crew, boats, or cargo. Also, the insurance prices sky rocket. It is all related.The Strait is very narrow and Iran can hit ships in it from their coast with drones, artillery, or missiles. They can also send out small motor boats from which they can fire on the container ships.
Sunday at 04:38 PM1 day Lindsey Graham doing MTP this morning. He looks like he's in a constant state of orgasm. Well it's good to see the republicans as the chicken hawk neo con party again. Trumpers acting like peace loving hippies was a little weird quite frankly.
Sunday at 04:56 PM1 day Good for MTG to get out of the cult but she's said and done a lot of messed up things in the past
Sunday at 05:04 PM1 day @Diehardfan This is the 2nd time now you've gone out with a claim from a non reputable source that Iran bombed their own school. You were wrong the 1st time as there was no such evidence.
Sunday at 05:15 PM1 day Diehard was furiously scrolling Twitter all night, searching for anyone who would lie to him about the school bombing. What a POS.

Every claim we did is baseless going on the word of the Iranians
