Trader sentiment on Houthi success in targeting Red Sea shipping reflects persistent threats without confirmed kinetic strikes or vessel seizures since the October 2025 Gaza truce, despite late-March missile launches toward Israel and a failed April 12 boarding attempt near Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Elevated war risk premiums—around $40,000 per week for Gulf tankers, quadruple pre-crisis levels—along with rerouting costs exceeding $1 million in fuel per voyage, have pushed container freight rates to $2,246 per 40-foot unit and sustained Baltic Dry Index gains to 2,567 amid robust demand. European naval task forces deter escalation, but Iran-backed rhetoric and US carrier detours signal fragility; watch April-end deadlines for potential strikes or diplomatic off-ramps.
