DFC to insure Persian Gulf shipping as Trump touts energy security

President Trump said the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation will provide political risk insurance to back ships through the Persian Gulf to maintain oil flows amid the Iran conflict. The DFC will underwrite coverage for shipping charterers, shipowners, and insurers to stabilize commerce, but questions remain about the geographic scope, the cost, and potential taxpayer exposure if payouts occur as global insurers pull back from Gulf coverage. Analysts warn large exposure could require legislative changes, and the White House did not comment.

Iran Unrest Rekindles Threat to Hormuz Oil Lane

Oil prices climbed toward multi‑week highs as unrest in Iran and U.S. threats raised fears of potential disruption to Middle East oil supply via the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of global oil. While a full closure is considered unlikely, analysts warn that even limited disruption could lift prices, with Brent around the mid‑60s and WTI near $60 as markets price uncertainty rather than catastrophe. Iran has alternative routes like Goreh‑Jask, but they are not yet a complete substitute.
