Rising Gulf Exports and Hormuz Transit
Crude oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz are gradually increasing, with Gulf export volumes rising despite ongoing Iranian security threats. This trend is helping to restrain global oil prices, with flow rates ranging between 6 and 8 million barrels per day. Although there was a slowdown in July due to attacks on oil tankers, the flows have resumed their upward trend thanks to a new operational model based on shuttle trips outside the Gulf, amid persistent security risks. Oil prices also declined to around $85 to $88 per barrel, fueled by progress in US-Iran negotiations and a reduction in geopolitical tensions.
