How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT CRUDE | slower transit through a key oil chokepoint tightens expected prompt supply | Up1-5d | only seven commodity ships sailed through Hormuz on Thursday, half the previous day’s tally |
| WTI CRUDE | chokepoint disruption supports global benchmark pricing even for US crude | Up1-5d | Hormuz traffic remained in single digits and far below pre-war levels |
| VLCC FREIGHT | rerouting and elevated war-risk around Hormuz lift voyage and insurance costs for very large crude carriers | Up1-5d | shipping data showed traffic far below pre-war levels through the waterway |
| LNG FREIGHT | reduced transits through a major LNG corridor support charter rates and term premiums | Up1-5d | the Strait of Hormuz was a major crude and liquefied natural gas route and crossings fell to seven vessels |
