What the sources said
Onset date as published by two independent agencies. IEA, 11 March 2026: "The conflict in the Middle East that began on 28 February 2026 has impeded oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, with export volumes of crude and refined products currently at less than 10% of pre-conflict levels." EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook, April 2026: "The strait has been effectively closed to shipping traffic since military action began on February 28." EIA STEO March 2026 dates the same onset ("the onset of military action in the Middle East that began on February 28"). Reported transit volumes: EIA STEO August 2026 - "crude oil and petroleum liquids transported through the Strait of Hormuz averaged 4.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in the second quarter of 2026 (2Q26), down from an average of 21.6 million b/d in 4Q25 before the conflict began"; IEA commentary 22 June 2026 gives an average of 2.7 million b/d for March-May 2026 against "around 20 million barrels per day" before. Date disagreement recorded, not resolved: EIA Today in Energy of 15 July 2026 dates the US-Iran memorandum of understanding on resuming traffic to 17 June 2026, while the EIA press release of 7 July 2026 dates the same memorandum to 18 June 2026. No end date is recorded: EIA STEO September 2026 still describes flows through the strait as constrained and variable, and EIA STEO August 2026 records renewed attacks on tankers from 7 July 2026. This row is a timeline marker only; it makes no statement about prices.

Choosing a fuel keeps that fuel's series and the channels shared by every fuel - the crude benchmark, FX, crude imports and Hormuz exposure. It drops only the other fuel's series.
The event window
What each series was worth from -30 to 90 days around the event date, how far that is from the same series' level at the event date, and how big that move is against the series' own normal variation.
Malta, all fuels in this run. 18 series can be drawn; 11 cannot be seen at all and are shown as labelled empty panels below.
208 published readings, 26 offsets with nothing published within one period, and 143 offsets on series we cannot see at all. Every one of them is on this page.

Is Strait of Hormuz shipping disruption (2026) really the reason?
The question splits into dimensions that are measured separately and never added into one number. Each row says whether we can see that dimension at all, and gives one published figure where we can.
Of the eight price-transmission channels this site reports, 4 have data in this run Calculated - a count of the rows below, not a measurement.
Methodology §11.1 publishes the thresholds the sentences below use: all eight channels present for the full comparison, at least three for the claim to be testable here at all, and 2.0 volatility units for a move to be described as outside a series' normal variation. Those are published wording choices, not statistical tests.
| Dimension | Status | Published figure, or why there is none |
|---|---|---|
| Direct crude exposure (D1)Share of imported crude whose route requires the Strait of Hormuz. | Nothing published in the window | not published |
| Direct product exposure (D2)Share of imported refined product whose route requires the Strait of Hormuz. | Range only | 3.770–27.09 % of imported tonnes at +30 d (2026-03) · no midpoint |
| Emergency stock cover (D7)Days of cover the published emergency stocks amount to. A buffer against a supply disruption, not a share of imports, and not a price channel. | Observed | 102.6 days of cover at +30 d (published 2026-03-01)-0.00% from the level at T0 = -0.00 volatility units |
| Crude benchmarkThe quoted crude price European cargoes are priced against. | Observed | 121.9 $ per barrel at +30 d (published 2026-03-30)+70.89% from the level at T0 = +36.70 volatility units |
| Refined-product benchmarkThe quoted product price refineries and wholesalers price against. | Unavailable | EU refined-product benchmarks (Platts / Argus) are proprietary with no redistribution grant. US crack spreads are not a valid EU proxy and are not substituted. |
| Refining marginWhat refining a barrel into this product earned. | Unavailable | No published refining-margin series is held, and computing a margin ourselves would need the licensed EU product benchmarks, which may not be republished. |
| Freight ratesWhat it cost to ship the cargo. | Unavailable | Tanker freight rates are licensed such that public display, onward passing and derived data are all expressly prohibited, verified verbatim, and no open institution publishes a tanker rate. |
| InventoriesStocks held, which absorb or amplify a supply change. | Observed | 211,836 tonnes at +30 d (published 2026-03-01)-0.58% from the level at T0 = -0.09 volatility units |
| Wholesale pricesThe price between the refinery gate and the forecourt. | Unavailable | Wholesale / rack price series are proprietary with no redistribution grant. |
| Pump price before taxThe pump price with excise, VAT and other fuel taxes stripped out. | Observed | 0.5530 € per litre at +30 d (published 2026-03-30)0.00% from the level at T0 |
| Pump price with taxWhat a driver actually paid. | Observed | 1.210 € per litre at +30 d (published 2026-03-30)0.00% from the level at T0 |
Physical exposure to the Strait of Hormuz and price exposure are different questions. A country with almost no direct physical exposure can still see its pump price move, because crude is priced globally - and a series that moved in this window may have moved for other reasons.
What the pump price did around this date
The decomposition page can be pinned to the weeks around the event date, so the pump move can be split into tax, input cost and the part the input cost does not account for.

The window is the published event date minus 7 days to plus 30 days. It is a window for looking, not a claim that the event caused what is inside it.
Actual vs crude-only: Malta, petrol (euro-super 95)
What the pre-tax price did from four weeks before to thirteen weeks after the event week, next to what it would have done had it followed only the crude input cost at the speed the stored pass-through estimate measures. The shaded difference is not explained by crude; it is not attributed to the event or to anything else. No fuel is selected, so petrol is shown.
The crude-only comparison could not be read.
API 404 for /api/events/hormuz-2026/crude-only: No stored crude-only run for 'hormuz-2026' and country 'malta'. Runs are stored for the pilot countries; available_countries lists them.
What the numbers support, sentence by sentence
Each sentence comes from a fixed template, chosen by published thresholds. Open “why this sentence” to see the numbers that selected it. None of this text is written by a language model, and none of it attributes cause.

Only part of the chain can be checked for Malta around Strait of Hormuz shipping disruption (2026): 4 of the 8 series the method compares are available (crude benchmark, inventories, pre-tax pump price and pump price with tax), while refined-product benchmark, refining margin, freight rates and wholesale prices are not. Any claim that rests on the missing links cannot be tested here. This page describes what each series did around the event date. It is not a finding about cause: no causal design is published for this site, and a series that moved in the same window may have moved for other reasons.

What this does not show
- It does not show that the event caused anything. No causal design is published for this site, and a series that moved in this window may have moved for other reasons.
- A change in volatility units is not a significance test, and neither is a z-score. They measure different things and are not interchangeable.
- Channels with no licensed or loaded source are shown as empty panels, not as flat lines. “We cannot see this” is not “this did not move”.
- Nothing is interpolated. Where several offsets resolve to one published figure, that is what the publisher printed, and the change against the event date is zero because it is the same number.
How to read the labels
- OfficialReported directly by an official authority.
- VerifiedReported by a third party we have verified against a primary record.
- CalculatedComputed by us from reported inputs. The method is published on the methodology page.
- Inferred · highNot reported. Inferred from at least two independent physical records.
- Inferred · mediumNot reported. Inferred from strong indirect evidence, with no explicit confirmation.
- Inferred · lowNot reported. Plausible from infrastructure or movement data only. Do not read as fact.
- UnknownNo defensible public evidence establishes this. We are not guessing, and this is not a measurement of zero.
