The Strait of Hormuz closure has driven energy costs sharply higher, squeezing small businesses that depend on affordable fuel and shipping. If this resolution leads to de-escalation and the Strait reopens, energy prices could stabilize. However, if withdrawal emboldens Iran to keep the Strait closed, costs could remain high or worsen.

By March 8, 2026, oil prices exceeded $100 per barrel for the first time in nearly four years.
