Iran War & Oil Markets Chart Pack
Introduction
The March 2026 Chart Pack examines the impact of the Strait of Hormuz closure on global oil markets. Curated on the Sparta platform, it highlights Asia’s feedstock crunch, record refined product price spikes, and the limits of SPR releases, alongside shifting tanker routes and a fragmented market struggling to replace lost Gulf supply.
Even if the conflict ends today, reopening Hormuz requires crews, coverage, and coast guard confidence — none of which return overnight.
Infrastructure impact and big picture
Distillates, gasoline, naphtha
