The US and China have played key roles in mitigating the impact of a historic oil supply disruption caused by Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which cut about 10 million barrels per day from global exports. The US increased its oil exports by 3.5 million bpd, while China reduced its imports by 3.6 million bpd, together compensating for roughly 70% of the lost supply. This cooperation has helped prevent oil prices from surging above $100 per barrel despite the large supply gap. However, questions remain about how long these adjustments can continue, especially as US oil inventories face pressure while China holds a large strategic reserve. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remains uncertain, but US and Chinese leaders have agreed on the importance of keeping the energy flow open.
