Brent is the global benchmark for oil prices and is priced out of the North Sea. The pop comes after a surprise reversal in the sector fueled by ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This morning, U.S. and British forces engaged in a series of missile strikes on the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen. The escalation heightens tensions around the ongoing sagas in the Middle East. In the last few weeks, the Houthis have attacked U.S. ships with drones, while Iran seized a large oil tanker off the coast of Oman. The ongoing geopolitical tensions extend threats to the Suez Canal, a massive shipping lane connecting the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. Concerns about additional attacks have spurred some shipping companies to alter their routes at a time when global shipping rates sit at all-time highs. Let’s discuss why shipping stocks look like smart speculations in this environment — and how you can take advantage. Understanding Geopolitical Premium The "geopolitical premium" in crude oil prices refers to the additional cost factoring into the oil price based on geopolitical risks. These risks can include political instability, regional conflicts, terrorism or decisions made by oil-producing nations that may impact supply. For example, if political unrest exists in an oil-producing country like Libya or Iran, fears that oil supply might be disrupted can drive up prices, even if the supply remains unchanged. This premium is not a fixed amount. It fluctuates based on current events and perceived risks. It's a form of risk pricing where the market assesses the likelihood of an event that could disrupt supply and adjusts prices accordingly. The geopolitical premium is a crucial component in the oil market because it reflects the physical supply and demand, and the market's expectations and fears about future supply disruptions. This makes oil prices highly sensitive to international news and events, which can have ripple effects on the global economy. Geopolitical Costs and the Suez Canal As of 2020, approximately 1.75 million barrels of oil per day pass through the Suez Canal at the mouth of the Red Sea. While that’s a large sum, there’s an even greater impact on global trade. Roughly 15% of all seaborne trade moves through the Red Sea passage. Over the last few months, the Houthis — an Iran-backed rebel growth that controls the western side of Yemen on the Red Sea — have attacked container ships and other vessels passing through the shipping channels. Those attacks began in the wake of the Israeli-Hamas war, with the Houthis declaring their support for Hamas. The group has attacked various commercial ships with drones and surface missiles, with these incidents increasing by 500% between November and December, according to the BBC. The result has been a massive change in the global shipping industry. Shipping and insurance costs have increased by roughly 1,000%, and various companies have diverted ships from the Red Sea. Instead, they are transported from the Atlantic Ocean down around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. Reuters reports that four oil tankers turned around Friday to avoid the Red Sea and any retaliation after the U.S. airstrikes. The result has been longer shipping times but higher daily rates. A Perfect Storm for Shipping Liquidity remains robust with support from the Federal Reserve and the People’s Bank of China. As the economy passes through the coming months, it’s expected that global trade will pick up in the second half of the year. This includes rising demand for oil in China. That’s extremely good news for container ships. At the moment, markets are drastically underpricing oil and cargo ships, many of which trade at very high F scores and very low price-to-Graham figures. Over at Tactical Wealth Investor, we’re adding a shipping container stock to the portfolio, And shares have popped 3.5% on the ongoing geopolitical saga. But we anticipate much more in the coming months — as this deeply undervalued stock sets itself up for a possible reversion with steep upside.
