Iran War: Hormuz Crossings Rise Slightly From Weekend, Remain in Single Digits, Data Shows

  • On Tuesday, West Texas Intermediate crude futures traded near $82.35 a barrel as shipping activity through the Strait of Hormuz remained at single digits amid a continuing stalemate in peace talks between the United States and Iran.
  • The United Arab Emirates accused Iran of attacking three vessels operated by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company late last week, prompting regional security concerns that slowed tanker transit through the critical waterway.
  • Shipping data from Kpler indicates only six commodity ships transited the strait on Monday, down from the 10-day average of 11 ships, as some vessels navigate the Gulf with transponders disabled.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated over the weekend that Iran has not decided to resume nuclear negotiations, while President Donald Trump urged Americans to accept slightly higher gasoline prices as the conflict persists.
  • Market analyst Tony Sycamore noted that both sides remain firmly entrenched, leaving the market to weigh risks of tighter supply against the availability of workarounds and informal trade channels as the stalemate continues.
