Ormuz Strait cargo transits fall to single digits, below 10-day average

Preliminary vessel tracking data shows cargo ship crossings of the Strait of Ormuz dropped to single digits per day over the weekend, below the 10-day average of 14. This suggests a significant disruption in one of the world's most critical oil and trade chokepoints, likely due to heightened regional tensions. The data is preliminary and the cause is not specified, but the decline could signal supply chain and energy market impacts.
