🇮🇷🇺🇸 Oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz have bounced back to nearly 80% of pre-war levels, despite Iran's blockade and ongoing threats to shipping, but its very costly, per Reuters

Saudi Arabia has resumed sending tankers through Hormuz after an attack on its East-West pipeline pushed exports back toward the Gulf, proving large volumes can still cross.

But the new system is costly: tanker rates top $1.2 million a day, and freight has jumped from around 3% to 27% of the delivered cost of oil, keeping Brent above $100 even as supply recovers.
