Bloomberg reports that Iran's main oil terminals remain empty due to the US blockade, creating a tangible supply shock in global energy markets.

While diplomatic efforts are underway with Russia mediating in Tehran, the immediate market implication is a bullish outlook for energy producers and a bearish outlook for energy-intensive sectors like airlines and shipping.
