The United States has stated that oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz are actually higher than previously tracked, contradicting concerns about potential disruptions. This assessment suggests global oil markets may have been underestimating the volume of crude passing through the critical waterway. The revelation doesn't detail the methodology used for the new calculations or the extent of the difference between estimated and actual flows. However, it implies a greater resilience in the region’s oil transport capacity than previously understood. This finding could ease anxieties regarding supply disruptions amid geopolitical tensions. While the US did not specify reasons for the discrepancy, the statement aims to provide a more accurate picture of global energy security. Further analysis is expected to determine the implications of this revised data.
