How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | Higher crude transit volumes reduce the immediate probability of a physical oil shortfall through the chokepoint. | Down1-5d | Kpler recorded a seven-day average of 13.5 million barrels per day through Hormuz, matching the cited prewar baseline. |
| RB=F | Fuel shipments remained constrained even as crude flows recovered, supporting tighter refined-product balances. | Up1-5d | The report explicitly distinguished restored crude exports from constrained fuel shipments. |
| FRO | Higher volumes support tanker utilization, while U.S. escorts and improved passage reduce the exceptional risk premium per voyage. | Mixed1-5d | Crude shipments returned to prewar levels with military escorts supporting traffic through Hormuz. |
