The ceasefire collapse has stopped commercial tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, threatening global fuel supply chains. With crude oil at multi-week highs and the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve at 319.5 million barrels, logistics firms face soaring insurance and shipping costs. Gasoline at $3.80/gallon may only be the beginning of a renewed fuel‑price crunch for transport‑dependent industries.
