Executive Summary
An interim US-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz has provided market relief, but the recent closure has exposed deep structural vulnerabilities in global supply chains, particularly impacting Asia.
The conflict has created a stark economic disparity, with wealthier nations drawing down strategic reserves while developing Asian countries face severe demand destruction, soaring fuel costs, and a looming food crisis.
Massive, price-inelastic investment in AI infrastructure is creating a powerful inflationary undercurrent, yet this sector remains vulnerable to geopolitical shocks that disrupt the supply of critical materials like helium.
The recurring nature of major global disruptions is forcing a strategic, and inherently inflationary, shift towards building resilience through stockpiling and supply chain independence.
