What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Geopolitical risks are currently driving up operational costs across the shipping and energy sectors. The near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz is described by the International Energy Agency as the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. Brent crude prices have seen significant volatility, climbing to $109 in early September after renewed attacks on shipping and energy infrastructure.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The global express carriers, including FedEx and UPS, are absorbing these cost increases. Jet fuel prices have risen faster than crude due to widening refining margins, with the global average currently at $194.90 a barrel.
