Oil traders have adopted the acronym NACHO, standing for Not Any Chance Hormuz Opens, to summarize views on the Strait of Hormuz. The phrase emerged in market commentary this week as participants assessed shipping routes through the waterway. Brent crude prices declined 6 percent during the same period.
The price movement occurred even as the NACHO outlook indicated limited expectations of disruption. Traders continued to monitor developments in the region while assessing supply routes. The Reuters Morning Bid podcast discussed the price decline and the new acronym.
