How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| QG=F | Higher observed LNG flows through Hormuz reduce the immediate scarcity premium associated with a full route shutdown. | Down1-5d | S&P Global Energy recorded 19 September LNG cargoes through the strait, the highest monthly total since the war began. |
| LNG1 | More cargoes completing the route reduce near-term expectations of severe Gulf LNG supply interruption. | Down1-5d | Kpler recorded 21 September cargoes, up from 15 in June, and vessels were observed west of India after the passage. |
| QATARI LNG FREIGHT | Higher completed shipments support route availability, but attacks elsewhere in the waterway keep freight outcomes two-sided. | Watch1-5d | September flows increased even as security concerns persisted and separate tanker strikes were reported. |
