Hormuz saw only 4 ship transits on Sunday against a pre-war 85 a day
A daily brief citing IMF PortWatch recorded 4 transits through the Strait of Hormuz on 4 October, against a pre-crisis baseline of 85 a day. US Central Command disputes the picture of a full closure, saying 20 million barrels of crude are moving through (straits.live brief).
Fewer tankers through Hormuz means tighter oil supply and higher prices for importers such as Kenya.
A prolonged shortage would show up in pump prices and in the cost of transport and food.
Iran says the closure is leverage until its conditions are met.
The US side says traffic is not fully halted.
