How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | Lower observed vessel throughput increases concern that Gulf barrels may not reach seaborne markets normally | Upintraday | Only three commodity vessels transited on Tuesday versus a ten-day average of about 15 |
| VLCCF | Restricted transits can tighten available tanker capacity and lift earnings for vessels able to operate on the route | Up1-5d | Hormuz traffic fell to three commodity vessels from four the previous day and remained well below the moving average |
| LNG1! | Lower traffic through Hormuz raises the risk premium on LNG cargo availability and delivery schedules | Up1-4w | The waterway is a major conduit for global LNG shipments and recorded sharply reduced commodity-vessel traffic |
