How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |

| BZ=F | Restored Saudi pipeline and Yanbu loading capacity improve the outlook for regional crude exports outside Hormuz. | Down1-5d | Saudi tanker loadings at Yanbu resumed after East-West Pipeline operations restarted. |
| CL=F | An alternative Saudi export route reduces the probability that Hormuz disruption will remove equivalent barrels from global supply. | Down1-5d | The cited report linked the resumption of Yanbu loadings to an improved Middle East export outlook. |
| TD3C | Greater use of a pipeline and Red Sea port reduces dependence on long-haul Gulf tanker movements through Hormuz. | Down1-4w | The East-West Pipeline and Yanbu route provide an alternative to Gulf exports through the chokepoint. |
