Persistent Houthi threats to blockade the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—a vital chokepoint handling roughly 12% of global trade and 5 million barrels per day of oil flows—have escalated in late April 2026 amid U.S.-Iran tensions under the Trump administration, prompting a risk premium in crude prices with Brent rebounding over 1% recently. Despite rhetoric signaling preparations for closure, IMF PortWatch data shows 7-day moving average ship arrivals holding above the effective closure threshold of 10 vessels, sustaining rerouting via the Cape of Good Hope that inflates Asia-Europe freight rates by 30-50% and adds 10-14 days to voyages. Traders monitor weekly PortWatch releases and potential U.S. naval escalations for shifts in supply chain costs and energy volatility.
