[Hormuz Strait Approaches Standstill Again, Shipping Intermittent] Odaily Planet Daily News: Commercial shipping traffic in the Hormuz Strait has sharply decreased, with only a few vessels related to Iran passing through, highlighting the intermittent nature of transportation in this globally critical energy chokepoint. According to ship tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, only two vessels entered the Persian Gulf on the day, while a fuel tanker appeared to pause on its way out. The slowdown in shipping occurred a day after two international supertankers departed the waterway, triggering a brief surge in energy exports. This shipping fluctuation comes as the market awaits the outcome of U.S.-Iran negotiations, aimed at ending a conflict that has nearly completely shut down the Hormuz Strait. Previously, Iranian state television reported on a draft memorandum of understanding, claiming that maritime shipping in the Hormuz Strait could return to normal within a month, but this report was denied by the U.S. side.
