Geopolitical tensions have escalated into a tangible supply shock, with the US military advising ships to avoid the Strait of Hormuz and satellite imagery confirming severe damage to Russian oil terminals. This has driven European natural gas prices to 100 Euros per MWh, a level not seen since the 2022 energy crisis. The dual pressure on oil and gas is creating a broad-based inflationary threat, directly impacting energy producers while severely pressuring airlines, shipping, and consumer discretionary sectors reliant on stable input costs.
