Gulf ship traffic via Strait of Hormuz hovers below 10-day average, data shows

Five commodity vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, unchanged vs. the prior day but down versus the 10-day average of 15 (i.e., ~67% of the recent norm), per preliminary shipping data. The lower-than-usual flow can be read as a cautious signal for Middle East-linked energy supply conditions, though the report indicates no sudden step-change. Overall, the update is more supply-risk color than a confirmed disruption.
