Opening of the Strait of Hormuz has accelerated, easing a key supply bottleneck and helping push energy prices lower, which in turn reduces the primary inflationary risk. Over the past 24 hours, 31 tankers transited the strait — roughly half of pre-war volumes — compared with single-vessel daily passages as recently as last week. (25 June 2026)

The sudden uptick in traffic signals a partial restoration of a vital oil and tanker route. Lower freight and insurance costs, along with increased crude flows, have contributed to downward pressure on energy prices.

Market participants view the change as alleviating one of the main near-term sources of inflation volatility tied to energy. Continued normalization of passage volumes would further support energy market stability and ease inflationary concerns. #StraitOfHormuz #energy #inflation #oil #FiatNews
