How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT CRUDE | Lower shipping throughput increases the risk and cost of moving Gulf crude to global markets. | Up1-5d | Kpler data showed only two commodity vessels passing through Hormuz, while attacks on two commercial vessels were reported. |
| BDTI | Vessel scarcity and elevated war-risk exposure raise crude tanker freight rates. | Up1-5d | The report said the traffic decline was pressuring tanker routes and freight rates. |
| LPG1 | Disrupted LPG shipping and vessel attacks increase freight costs for Gulf LPG movements. | Up1-5d | The LPG tanker Al Maryah was reported attacked while regional commercial traffic fell sharply. |
