I was thinking of selling puts because of TACO, but it appears I ran out of margin.

The question is whether either side blinks before the energy markets do something neither government can control.

Who does it hurt more if they block for a month for example, world economy or Iran. Feels like world economy would hurt more.

It's not just a matter of who it will hurt more. It's also a question of whose population (specifically Iran's or the US's) has the greater capacity to withstand hardship. Who will break first?

The US population is already fed up with the war. The question is rather what Trump will do. A crazy old guy is holding the world hostage.

To be clear, Trump's goal here is not to convince Iran to fold, obviously they're not going to randomly do that. His goal is to make this so painful for the rest of the world that they join him in pressuring Iran. He wants the rest of NATO and China to be hurting real bad. I don't think it will work personally, particularly because the mid terms are coming up so these countries will try to ride it out and hope it goes away. But that's where he's coming from.

Around 30% or Iran's entire economy relies on trade through the Strait. Around 20-30% of all global sea trade goes through the Strait.

Its probably going to be Iran. Iran was making bank during the war since only their ships can export oil from the gulf. They made up something like 90+% of the transits during the war so far. But their oil mostly went to China and in the overall world market Iran export is fairly minor due to the sanctions and amount. So functionally the market already ignores the Iran input into the world market.

Saying the market ignores 20-30% of oil input to the global market is so wrong lmao

giantroboticcat Apr 14, 2026 +1

The Paris Agreement asked for a 3% global oil reduction annually by the year 2050 and everyone argued whether that was possible. But sure, 30% less oil overnight can be ignored...

Imagine the 24 hour news cycle on Fox News if biden had attacked iran and gas prices were through the roof. Instead here is what Fox News is feeding the cult: >Trump doubles down on criticism of Pope Leo >U.S. offered new base to combat Iran >Terrified residents vow to move after illegal car mob gathering >GOP plots to break Homeland Security shutdown by cutting Democrats out of the process >Teen driver launches car off overpass >Democrat county DA drops charges against suspect with 30 arrests >Barron Trump’s new beverage >ESPN and golf >I Dream of Jeannie actress

No, it’s worse. The futures have completely uncoupled from oil spot price, speculators are short-selling oil to finance going long on /ES on the hopes ^TM that spot oil prices crash before they have to deliver. We will see how that works out. If the blockade-ception continues Iran has threatened more bombings of energy infrastructure

Trump: You can't block the strait! I'm blocking the strait. You aren't raising oil prices! I'm raising oil prices!

I mean, egg prices have actually gone down since he took office. Now, that's because prices were high due to restricted supply because of the bird flu that was happening at the time; but you might want to pick a different example there.

Best example would be gas, remember all the Biden “i did that “ stickers while Biden was running? , i understand Kamala took over but still same President race.

He's already been impeached twice. Do you really think a third time will accomplish anything?

Yes it will get him out of office.
