Hormuz Oil Exports Recover to 80% as Prices Hold Above $100
Key Facts
Crude oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have recovered to 80% of pre-war levels. Benzinga reported that oil prices remain stuck above $100 per barrel despite the increased supply, supported by persistent high operational costs.
The rebound in flows occurs alongside high logistical and insurance expenses that prevent a significant drop in global crude prices. According to Benzinga, the increased output from Persian Gulf exporters has yet to lower market rates due to these underlying cost pressures.
