| BDTI TANKER FREIGHT | fewer available safe transits and rerouting requirements increase tanker utilization and freight pricing | Up1-5d | Hormuz traffic remained sharply below the recent average and vessels were exiting rather than entering |
| LNG1! | restricted Gulf shipping capacity raises the cost and scarcity value of LNG cargo movement | Up1-4w | Kpler data showed unusually low commodity-vessel traffic through Hormuz |
