OIL SHOCK WARNING: Worldwide Supply Has Just Suffered a Direct Blow
Disruptive Growth
Global energy markets were shaken after the U.S. intercepted and took control of a Chinese-linked oil tanker close to Venezuela, taking 1.8 million barrels of Merey-16 crude out of global supply.
This has shifted from mere paper sanctions to a tangible interruption of oil supply. 🛢️❌
⚠️ Importance of this action:
• Sanctions are currently implemented at sea, rather than solely through policy.
• The energy corridor between China and Venezuela is facing heightened pressure.
• Oil supply was already restricted—this makes it even more restricted.
📊 What markets are reflecting in their prices:
• Increased upward force on crude oil prices
• An increased geopolitical risk premium
• Increasing unpredictability in energy markets
• Global inflation worries reignited
🛢️ The calculations are straightforward:
Reduced oil supply → increased energy costs
Rising energy costs → extensive market repercussions
Stocks, fixed income securities, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrencies react swiftly. ⚡
📉 Initial market response:
$FHE −9.25%
$TAC −7.02%
$RESOLV -13.71%
This is commonly how supply-driven shocks initiate—silently at the start, then swiftly.
👀 Everyone is now focused on crude oil.
As energy flows, everything else trails behind
