Hormuz traffic drops after Iran's warning
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has decreased this week following Iran's warning of retaliation against any new American attacks, with the number of ships passing through the strait dropping to seven from ten at the beginning of the week. Iran also threatened that the energy infrastructure in the Gulf could be at risk, including the interests of the United States in oil and gas. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs has raised its price forecasts for Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude until the end of 2026, predicting that shipping disruptions in the region will continue into next year. Conversely, there has been an increase in traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, with 29 ships passing compared to 17 the previous day, although some vessels may have crossed without broadcasting or receiving signals.
