The International Energy Agency (IEA) head, Fatih Birol, stated that Europe may exhaust its jet fuel supply in six weeks due to ongoing disruptions linked to the Middle East crisis. Birol highlighted that the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could lead to significant energy challenges, potentially impacting global economic growth and inflation. He mentioned that by April, oil supply shortages could double compared to March, exacerbating pressure on prices for gasoline and electricity. Analysts are closely monitoring the flow of oil through the Strait, indicating urgent replacement needs for supply chains.
