What is the impact of the Houthi's blocking the Strait. 10 percent of the world's oil and apparently 30 percent of the worlds container freight goes through this. How much damage would this do? Everything would have to go around Africa instead. Oil would have to go through the suez canal and everything else would have to go around both directions.
How worried should we be? I think it happens the moment a ground invasion happens. That's what I've heard posited. Everything would have to be completely re-routed and the economics change. That raises the trip duration for many transits by like 40%. A 20 day reroute would cost like 3 M in just fuel. Everything would also move slower. Is this recession fuel?
