🌎 Supply Chain Reconfiguration

Disruptions in key maritime routes are forcing a rapid reorganization of global oil logistics.

Observed adjustments include:
- Tankers reversing routes toward India
- Diversion away from high-risk corridors (Red Sea, Gulf routes)
- Increased reliance on longer, less efficient shipping paths

This creates inefficiencies in:
- Transport time
- Freight costs
- Inventory management

From an economic standpoint, this represents a negative supply shock combined with logistical friction.

Even if production remains stable, distribution constraints can generate price volatility and localized shortages.

Key takeaway: supply chains are not collapsing, but they are becoming less efficient, and that inefficiency is inflationary.
