If the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz persists, will a fiercer agricultural commodities bull market than in 2022 emerge?

When the global energy hub falls into paralysis, a systemic inflation driven by the trinity of 'gas prices-fertilizer prices-grain prices' is lurking within the lagging pricing logic of the agricultural products market. According to information from the WindChaser Trading Platform, on March 17, Bank of America issued a global agricultural strategy report pointing out that as tensions with Iran escalated, the Strait of Hormuz had 'effectively ceased commercial traffic' in early March, with multiple vessel attacks occurring in the region. The importance of the Strait of Hormuz cannot be overstated. Approximately one-fifth of the world's oil transportation relies on this waterway. This conflict has caused a supply disruption exceeding 20 million barrels per day, marking the largest scale disruption in recent decades.
