The brief
Three Indian tankers have reappeared, indicating an uptick in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. However, Reuters reports that Iran has closed the strait citing ceasefire violations.
Coverage from Bloomberg focuses on the movement of Indian vessels, while Tasnim reports that the strait will remain closed until Israel is restrained in Lebanon. Conversely, ABC News reports that the energy secretary forecasts further price declines and asserts that oil traffic is already back to normal.
Future developments depend on whether the strait reopens and the effect of these traffic patterns on energy prices.
