(1) According to data from the shipping tracking company Kpler, around 80% of vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz in the past two weeks have adopted covert navigation methods: turning off their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders and navigating as far as possible from the Iranian side, sticking to the Omani side. (2) This hidden shipping operation is helping to maintain oil exports from the Gulf region, preventing international crude oil prices from surging further due to energy supply shortages. (3) The current shipping practices reflect that the market is responding to the geopolitical risks of the Strait of Hormuz in a non-public manner to ensure basic stability in the global energy supply chain.

Deutsche Bank: After the three major central banks hiked rates simultaneously, the market may once again underestimate the terminal interest rate

Deutsche Bank points out that as central banks in the US, Europe, and Japan are tightening policy simultaneously, the market may still be underpricing the eventual terminal rates. With oil prices remaining high, inflation may spill over into core inflation and wages. Moreover, financial conditions have not tightened in tandem, which could weaken the effect of rate hikes. Citing the experience of 2022, Deutsche Bank notes that the market then expected a total of around 200 basis points of Fed rate hikes in the first year, but the final figure exceeded 400 basis points, illustrating that the market often underestimates the terminal rate.
