| BRENT CRUDE | Damage to multiple fossil-fuel carriers raises the risk that Gulf export volumes will be delayed or rerouted. | Upintraday | Three vessels carrying fossil fuels were reportedly struck in the Strait of Hormuz. |
| LNG FUTURES | An attack on an LNG carrier increases the perceived risk to seaborne gas deliveries through the chokepoint. | Up1-5d | The UK Maritime Trade Operations report included one LNG carrier among the three struck vessels. |
