Brent crude traded under $77 a barrel on June 23, near pre-conflict levels, as seven tankers openly traversed the Strait of Hormuz following a US-Iran interim deal. The easing of geopolitical tensions is rapidly deflating the oil price war premium, with potential implications for energy markets and the energy transition. However, a permanent deal remains elusive.
The resumption of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with 20 oil tankers crossing since the deal, revives concerns over oil spill and emissions risks in a vital maritime chokepoint. Two-way flows suggest a return to normal crude trade, but temporary route governance may intensify environmental pressures.
