There is also a lot of stuff going on geopolitically, for example the trade dispute between China and the US, so with the Strait of Hormuz closed it puts China at a disadvatage since the US is now energy independent. Coincidentally, both countries will meet at the G20 next week with a trade deal on the agenda, so the current situation in the Gulf very much favours the US.
