Strait of Hormuz shipping traffic still below pre-war levels

Original: Shipping traffic via Strait of Hormuz stays lower than 10-day average, data shows Before the US-Israeli war on Iran star

Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains lower than its 10-day average following the US-Israeli war on Iran, which began on February 28. Before the conflict, the strait typically handled about 125 large commercial vessels a day, including tankers, gas carriers, bulkers and container vessels. The continued shortfall underscores lingering disruption to one of the world's most important oil and gas transit routes as operators remain cautious.

Why now: The strait is a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, so reduced traffic since the war started raises concerns about oil prices and trade.
