Market chaos becomes apparent
Brent crude sinks back to $73, yet ship‑tracking data shows crossings still far below normal levels while shut‑in production across the Gulf remains at 9.6 million bpd.
Interim deal reopens the Strait
A US‑Iran agreement allows commercial traffic to resume, triggering an immediate exodus of dozens of laden tankers that had been stranded for over 100 days.

Military conflict between the US and Iran effectively paralyses the waterway, trapping tankers inside the Gulf and cutting off roughly a fifth of global oil trade.

Supply chain professionals must navigate a fractured rebalancing that distorts freight markets and inventory planning.
