Commodities in ‘Super-Squeeze’ as Hormuz Risks Build, HSBC Says
BULLISH GOLD
Impact Score: 5/5
Region: Middle East
Source: Bloomberg
A credible risk of the Strait of Hormuz being effectively shut is a major energy-and-supply shock. That would lift inflation expectations, support safe-haven demand, and likely weaken risk assets, all of which are bullish for Gold.
Hormuz is a critical oil/shipping chokepoint; disruption would hit energy prices fast; inflation shock plus risk-off flows typically support XAUUSD
