A potential Strait of Hormuz blockade could disrupt oil markets, but its impact depends on duration and response.
1. Short-Term (1 Week to 1 Month): Panic buying could push oil prices to $95-$105 per barrel, up 32-46% from $71.83, based on historical spikes during tensions.
2. Medium-Term (1 to 3 Months): If disruptions persist, prices may stabilize at $90-$100 as alternative routes are used, though supply remains tight.
3. Long-Term (3 Months to 1 Year): Prices could drop to $75-$80 if resolved, or stay above $100, possibly hitting $120, if prolonged.
Iran's ability to block the strait is real, but self-harm and global backlash make it uncertain. Data is speculative; outcomes hinge on geopolitics.
