How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRENT CRUDE | Ongoing physical flows reduce the immediate likelihood of a complete supply stop through Hormuz. | Downintraday | Kpler data put weekly crude movements at roughly the previous week’s level. |
| VLCC FREIGHT RATES | Maintained crude movement amid disrupted routing can require additional vessels and transshipment capacity. | Up1-5d | The same market backdrop included elevated tanker demand and record VLCC charter rates. |
