On Monday, only two commodity vessels navigated the Strait of Hormuz, a significant drop from ten the previous day, according to preliminary shipping data.

On Wednesday, only three commodity vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz, a sharp decline from 12 the previous day and well below the 10-day average of 17.
