How bad will the energy crisis get?

Video summary

Yuri says a six-month Hormuz crisis is 80% likely, with oil reaching $150–$200 per barrel and energy costs surging worldwide.

Yuri explains how the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz threatens roughly 20% of global oil and gas supplies, with Asian buyers especially exposed to Middle Eastern crude. Although strategic reserves and demand cuts can cushion the shock, reserves are finite: Japan has about 224 days, the US 120, and Europe 90. He outlines three outcomes: a quick reopening (10% probability), a conflict lasting six months or longer (80%), and a US export ban under Trump (10%). In the most likely case, oil could reach $150–$200 per barrel, while US energy prices roughly double and Europe faces sharply higher gas costs. The crisis could also fuel inflation, food shortages through fertilizer costs, currency turmoil in South Asia, and a severe downturn in Gulf economies.
