Bloomberg's Vonnie Quinn reports that Saudi supertankers have begun crossing the Strait of Hormuz after a US-Iran ceasefire MOU, an uptick analysts view as positive for oil markets and GCC exporters, though full normalization will be gradual. The report also notes that Iran may have secured more concessions in the deal.
- Three Saudi supertankers carrying about 6 million barrels of oil are crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
- The movement follows a 60-day ceasefire and immediate reopening of the strait under a US-Iran MOU.
- Qatari and Kuwaiti vessels are also attempting to transit the strait.
- Analysts view the uptick as very positive for oil markets and GCC exporters.
- Full normalization of traffic may take weeks or months.
- The deal reportedly includes sanctions relief and a development fund for Iran, raising questions about which side gained more.
Возобновление движения танкеров через Ормузский пролив, возглавляемое саудовскими супертанкерами, перевозящими 6 миллионов баррелей нефти, рассматривается как очень позитивный фактор для нефтяных рынков и экспортеров стран ССАГПЗ, хотя для полного возврата к довоенным объемам потребуются недели или месяцы.
