What happened
The vulnerability of the Strait of Hormuz as a major chokepoint is accelerating global efforts to diversify energy supplies. Buyers are actively rejiggering supply networks to secure supplies from conflict-free areas. Earlier this year, PetroChina and India's GAIL secured replacement cargoes outside the Gulf region.

All listed nations strengthened economic fundamentals, while Bank of America analyzed emerging market fixed income amid Strait closure boosting oil prices.
