Schrodinger's Strait, Schrodinger's Market
By Benjamin Picton, Senior Market Strategist at Rabobank
Erwin Schrodinger famously proposed a thought experiment to illustrate the apparent absurdity of quantum mechanics when applied to the macroscopic world. In the theoretical experiment, Schrodinger’s eponymous cat, contained in a box with a radioactive atom, a Geiger counter and a vial of poison, exists in a state of superposition whereby it is simultaneously both alive and dead until the box is opened.
And so it is with the Strait of Hormuz, which exists in a state of both openness...
