Tankers test the waters
At least three VLCCs were observed moving toward the Strait of Hormuz at normal cruising speeds, while 21 vessels signaled routes to Asian destinations.
Saudi supertankers return
Three Saudi supertankers reappear in the Gulf of Oman, indicating that tanker traffic is gradually resuming following the tentative US-Iran diplomatic thaw.
Saudi Arabia’s oil export recovery to 75% of pre-conflict levels and a 500,000-barrel-per-day increase from Yanbu are injecting fresh supply into crude markets. This is weighing on oil futures, supporting tanker stocks, and likely bolstering Saudi Aramco’s revenue outlook after months of war-driven disruption.
A potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could unleash a flood of crude, driving oil prices down and reshaping energy market dynamics for producers and traders.
