The ongoing conflict in the Strait of Hormuz is significantly impacting the S&P 500’s performance, with 15 of the top 20 best-performing stocks in March directly benefiting from the crisis. The oil and gas industry accounts for 12 of these, driven by rising crude prices. Additionally, three chemical companies are thriving due to soaring fertilizer input costs and disrupted petrochemical supply chains caused by the Hormuz disruption.
