The closure of the Strait of Hormuz creates a massive geopolitical risk premium in crude, heavily favoring Shell's non-Hormuz production assets. With the effective stop at break-even, the trade offers risk-free asymmetric upside to the 3240 target.
Original LONG thesis massively reinforced by Hormuz supply shock. Shell benefits directly from oil price surge ($90+ WTI, $110 Brent) due to integrated model and non-Hormuz production (North Sea, Brazil, Canada). Position profitable and 56.6% toward target with fundamental catalyst intact. Hold through resistance test at $3227 toward $3240 target as energy risk premium remains bid.
Geopolitical risk premium now embedded - hold through 3240 target but tighten stop to 3135 (just below SMA50 & new Brazil-driven support). Monitor Strait transit data via web_search(query='Hormuz tanker traffic daily') for early exit signals.
No model argued for EXIT.
