Can global markets weather another Middle East conflict?

Описание: Earlier this month, Yemen’s Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of bombing an airport in the Houthi-controlled capital, Sanaa. In retaliation, the group declared a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea, targeting two of its tankers and oil facilities along the Red Sea coast. The renewed violence has effectively ended the informal four-year truce between the Yemeni rebel group and the Saudi-led coalition. As the fighting escalates, the status of the Bab al Mandab Strait, a strategic chokepoint connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, hangs in the balance.
