Summary
Refined fuel markets are showing the sharpest strain from Iran war fears, even as benchmark crude prices have given up almost all of their wartime gains.
Persistent shortages in products such as transport fuels are emerging as the more acute pressure point, shifting concern from raw crude supply to the availability of usable fuels.
That divergence suggests the main Hormuz-related risk is no longer just headline oil prices, but tighter refined-product markets that can keep end-user fuel costs under pressure.
