Question
Saudi-flagged supertankers reroute around Cape after Houthi threats in Gulf of Aden
Direct answer
Longer routes for Saudi crude exports through the Cape of Good Hope support Brent (LCOc1) and Dubai benchmarks, widen tanker freight indices such as the Baltic Dirty Tanker Index (BDTI), and could tighten backwardation in ICE Brent time spreads.
