Strait of Hormuz commodity traffic fell below the 10-day average as seven vessels transited on Thursday
Question
Strait of Hormuz commodity traffic fell below the 10-day average as seven vessels transited on Thursday
Direct answer
Below-normal transits indicate continued friction for oil, gas and bulk cargo flows through the chokepoint, which supports tanker and insurance premia while leaving crude and LNG supply chains exposed.
