Buffers could crack if shutdown drags into July

Morgan Stanley says global oil markets are in a race against time as the Strait of Hormuz stays shut amid the Iran war. A longer disruption could sharply tighten supplies and lift crude prices. Analysts warn that existing market buffers may weaken further if the closure extends into late June or July, increasing risks for global energy prices.
