How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT CRUDE | fewer transits signal tighter logistics and a higher probability of supply interruption | Upintraday | ship-tracking data showed Hormuz vessel transits fell to seven from 11 the previous day |
| BDI | route disruption can tighten dry-bulk and tanker utilization across the region | Up1-5d | multiple vessel types were still transiting but at much lower overall counts than normal |
| FREIGHT RATES | less predictable routing through a key chokepoint increases war-risk pricing | Up1-5d | transits were well below the 10-day average and included ballast and cargo diversions |
