Geopolitical tensions tied to Yemen’s Houthis and the broader Iran conflict remain the dominant driver of trader sentiment on Bab el-Mandeb closure risk. Renewed Houthi threats since February 2026, including missile strikes on Israel and declarations banning Israeli-linked vessels, have kept shipping companies on alert, sustaining reroutes around the Cape of Good Hope and elevated war-risk insurance premiums. Transit volumes through the strait and Suez Canal have already fallen sharply from pre-2023 levels, with 7-day averages near 33 calls as of March 2026. Oil-market participants monitor the roughly 12 percent of seaborne crude that transits the chokepoint, noting that simultaneous disruption with the Strait of Hormuz could pressure benchmarks toward $140 per barrel. Key near-term catalysts include Houthi statements, U.S. or EU naval responses, and any de-escalation signals ahead of June resolution dates.
