Gulf crude exports hit post-war high but Strait of Hormuz flows slow again as Iran–US hostilities escalate
Question
Gulf crude exports hit post-war high but Strait of Hormuz flows slow again as Iran–US hostilities escalate
Direct answer
Increased early-July Gulf supply had pulled Brent and WTI lower, but renewed chokepoint risk and tanker incidents are supporting Brent above USD 100 and widening Dubai–Brent spreads while lifting risk premia in energy credit such as HYG Energy components.
