Iranian state media reports another oil tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz
Question
Iranian state media reports another oil tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz
Direct answer
If confirmed, another tanker casualty would increase vessel-risk premiums, constrain effective transit capacity and reinforce the crude and tanker-freight risk premium; the lack of U.S. confirmation limits confidence in the directional market inference.
