Persistent disruption in Strait of Hormuz shipping keeps a structural risk premium embedded in oil prices, which in turn feeds imported inflation across energy-dependent economies and hardens the case for tighter monetary policy in Japan.

// Cascade Logic

Hormuz shipping fails to normalize → oil risk premium stays elevated → imported energy inflation → Bank of Japan tightens.
