Strait of Hormuz Crisis and Global Insurance Markets
The hosts discuss how the global insurance market, rather than military action, effectively shut down shipping in the Strait of Hormuz by withdrawing wartime cover for tankers. Davis explains that even a temporary blockage creates a long-tail supply chain crisis that drives up the cost of living. He also notes China's role in stabilizing oil prices by strategically reducing its demand during the crisis.
