## Resource

Global oil markets are tightening fast as strategic reserves aren’t freely available and key chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz remain disrupted, pushing prices higher and threatening a supply crunch this summer unless Middle Eastern exports rebound. While U.S. oil releases are easing Europe’s worries, they’re not a long-term fix — the real solution hinges on restoring shipping through Hormuz, where Iran’s leverage is growing daily as inventories shrink.
