Maersk Warns Energy Crisis Will Not Automatically End if Iran War Ends

Maersk warned the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz disruption could trigger a lasting energy shock.

Soaring bunker fuel costs are adding hundreds of millions of dollars in monthly expenses and pressuring Maersk shares.

The company said elevated fuel prices could linger for months, keeping shipping and freight costs high even after fighting ends.

That could weaken trade demand, add to inflation, and weigh on global growth.
