The year 2023 closes on several high notes as the catastrophe of ethnic cleansing in Palestine continues unabated by Israel - fully backed by the USA. Yemeni forces equipped with drones, missiles, and numerous other advanced weapons have by now caused significant mayhem in world shipping. But, beyond the X posts and dramatic headlines may hide a much bigger Blindspot shock that will hit the world economy as a result of what is transpiring in one the eight critical global shipping chokepoints off Yemen’s coast!

Let’s open with a few quick facts:
Approximately 80% of world trade is carried around the planet via the seas.
The Visual Capitalist provides a quick overview of the critical chokepoints in global shipping.
Looking at this map, we see eight critical choke points of which four are around the African continent - Cape of Good Hope, Strait of Gibraltar, Suez Canal, and Bab el-Mandeb, then we have the Turkish straits into the Black Sea, Straits of Malacca, and the Panama Canal
Any significant disturbance in any of these, impacts directly on the movement of goods around the planet!
At least three of the eight global chokepoints are under geopolitical stress - Yemen’s Bab el-Mandeb, Turkish Straits due to fall-out of Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the Panama Canal which is due to drought conditions unable to carry its usual load of vessels passing through.
