Strait of Hormuz
Sources describe the Strait of Hormuz as nominally closed but still carrying some oil through covert, rerouted or otherwise contested flows. Jim Wiederhold attributed lower-than-expected oil prices to weaker Chinese demand, inventory use, added production and diversions 10, while TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne said oil was moving through the strait quietly at high freight and insurance costs 1617. The disruption is nevertheless linked to LNG cancellations, refinery constraints, tighter Asian crude markets and Japanese efforts to reduce dependence on the corridor 61113.
