One-fifth of global oil and gas supplies pass through the strait, making navigation stability crucial for international energy markets.
The resumption of Qatari gas shipments could ease pressure on global energy prices and contribute to improving liquefied gas supplies to Europe and Asia. This development could have a positive impact on electricity and heating bills in the coming weeks if navigation traffic in the strait stabilizes.
