When the cost of crude oil goes up or down, sooner or later, the cost for transporting a manufactured home will also routinely rise or fall. So, this evening’s market focus is on the literally explosive situation off the Iranian coast near the Straights of Hormuz, where much of the world’s Middle Eastern oil is transported through.

Today’s markets and stocks snapshot, at the closing bell…
Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Per CNBC:
· Attacks on tanker ships near the world’s busiest sea lane for oil shipments send oil prices sharply higher, partially reversing a deep slump in crude futures.
· Tankers the Front Altair and the Kokuka Courageous have sustained significant damage in the Gulf of Oman, and their crews have been evacuated.
· The strikes come against a backdrop of heightened tension between the U.S. and Iran and follow last month’s attacks on four tanker ships in the Middle East.
This oil spike graphic tells the tale at a glance.
Not only is transport cost of a manufactured home from the production center to a retailer or community impacted by a rise in oil prices, but also the cost of any secondary moves from a retailer to the home buyer’s site is impacted too.
Furthermore, products are transported to the production center, so those costs will ultimately be passed along too.
The Daily Business News on MHProNews will monitor these developments.
