Oil prices will likely experience a sharp, reflexive spike (a 'war premium') of $5-$12 per barrel as markets react to potential disruption in Gulf of Mexico refinery throughput and Florida Strait maritime traffic.
While unlikely to be permanently closed, the Florida Strait will likely be subject to U.S. naval exclusion zones, forcing insurance premiums to skyrocket and vessels to take longer, more expensive routes.
Travel, hospitality, and cruise operators (CCL, RCL, NCLH) are the most vulnerable due to their reliance on Caribbean itineraries and regional transit, which would be fundamentally impaired by active conflict.
