The disruption surrounding the Strait of Hormuz has triggered significant volatility in energy markets. According to Dr. Khaqan Najeeb, this situation has led to increased risk premiums across global LNG spot markets. He emphasizes that the current price spikes are driven by geopolitical uncertainty. These fluctuations are not the result of a fundamental shortage of gas supplies. Instead, the unrest is creating an artificial "energy shock" affecting nations like Pakistan. The instability in this critical maritime corridor continues to threaten global energy stability. Consequently, the price of fuel is becoming a reflection of regional political tensions.
