Question
Kpler says crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have returned to prewar levels while refined-product flows remain depressed
Direct answer
The restoration of crude transit limits an immediate oil-supply shock, but the sharp refined-product shortfall keeps product cracks, freight and regional fuel risks elevated.

How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | Crude flows at the prewar baseline reduce the immediate physical-supply premium in benchmark oil. | Downintraday | Kpler estimated seven-day crude transit through Hormuz at 13.5 million barrels per day, matching the prewar baseline. |
| RB=F | Refined-product supply remains far below its prewar level, supporting gasoline and product-market tightness. | Up1-5d | Kpler data showed refined-product shipments of 677,000 barrels per day versus 3.6 million before the conflict. |
| BDTI | Military escorts, rerouting and persistent security risk raise the cost of moving petroleum cargoes. | Up1-4w | Crude flows have recovered with escorts and alternative routes while product flows remain severely impaired. |
