How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZ=F | Recovering export volumes reduce the near-term physical shortage premium in Brent futures. | Downintraday | Kpler data showed flows at 14.2 million barrels per day, about 80% of pre-war levels. |
| FRO | Despite recovering volumes, vessels still require costly and riskier voyages, supporting tanker freight earnings. | Up1-4w | Reuters reported VLCC rates above $1.2 million per day versus roughly $30,000 in January. |
| BNO | Improved Gulf export throughput reduces the immediate supply-disruption premium in a Brent-linked fund. | Down1-5d | Kpler recorded a substantial recovery in Hormuz crude flows. |
