Attacks by Houthis in Red Sea likely to drive up crude prices

Op India  

The intensified attacks on commercial and merchant ships in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Shiite Houthi rebels could drastically surge prices of oil, and insurance premiums for ships and other goods, creating a domino effect for inflation, as warned by experts. Following these attacks, several major oil and shipping firms have announced to either suspend or re-route the trade away from the Red Sea creating a major disruption in the maritime trade. Unlike the Suez Canal blockade which was a result of an oversized container ship named ‘Ever Given’ running aground by a “gust of wind”, the attacks by Houthis have put the safety of the entire shipping route in the Red Sea in jeopardy. Resultantly, considering the strategic importance of the unhindered and safe trading route through the Red Sea, the US today announced a 10-nation naval force to combat Houthi rebels threatening maritime trade in the region. Despite the US announcement of the international operation aimed at securing safe passage through the Red Sea, Maersk indicated that the timeline for resuming trade along the route remains uncertain.
