How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT | lower throughput reflects a tighter physical supply channel for global crude | Up1-5d | Reuters cited Vortexa data showing transit at 5 million barrels per day, down from more than 20 million before the war |
| DHT | reduced effective supply through the strait can improve tanker day rates and utilization | Up1-5d | the waterway handled far less crude than before the war |
| BDRY | fewer safe direct sailings usually supports freight benchmarks for crude tankers | Up1-5d | transits were far below prewar levels according to shiptracking data |
| KSEK | Kuwait is exposed to Hormuz transit disruption, but the data alone do not determine near-term FX direction without broader risk pricing | Watch1-4w | Reuters said the strait handled about one-fifth of global oil and LNG before the war |
