Где узко, там и рвется // Какими могут быть главные последствия закрытия Ормузского пролива

Из-за очередной эскалации конфликта на Ближнем Востоке торговля через Ормузский пролив фактически приостановлена. Вместе с тем пока неясно — это официальное решение Тегерана или предупредительные меры не желающих рисковать поставщиков. Пока аналитики предполагают, что при любом сценарии в краткосрочной перспективе подорожают фрахт и страхование. Полная же блокировка пролива означает ограничение экспорта нефти для самого Тегерана и вынужденную перестройку сразу многих цепочек поставок.
