None so far.
But could it happen? Sure. All it would take is a few of the protesters to attack the shipping and disrupt the canal. They are muslim after all.
Or, it could escalate until Israel gets drawn into the mess and that could mess up the suez. Happened before.
Lots O'things could happen but I'll admit the odds are against it.
We can be sure the speculators are going to hedge their bets just in case.
