HORMUZ TRACKER: Weekly Transits Reach Highest Since War Began

The seven-day rolling average of transits through the Strait of Hormuz on Friday reached its highest level since the war began, reflecting a pickup in traffic over the past week. Higher transit volumes through this key oil chokepoint point to easing logistical bottlenecks and could modestly reduce energy risk premia. Investors should watch oil prices and tanker freight rates for potential modest downward pressure and tighter supply-driven spreads.
