Saudi Restores Half of East-West Pipeline Capacity, WTI Drops Below $90

Saudi Arabia restored about half of the capacity of its East-West pipeline, which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, easing supply concerns and pushing WTI below $90 per barrel. The partial restoration reduces but does not eliminate the risk of a full Hormuz closure, leaving sentiment mixed. The move signals Saudi ability to mitigate disruptions, but the remaining capacity gap and geopolitical tensions keep the market on edge.

Saudi East-West Pipeline Resumes Flow After Drone Attack

Saudi Arabia has resumed crude flow and loadings through its East-West pipeline, including exports from Yanbu, following repairs after a drone attack by an Iranian-backed Iraqi militia. This restoration, confirmed to be at least half of the pipeline's capacity, has stabilized Brent prices and eased immediate supply concerns, partially bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. However, the full restoration of export capacity remains unconfirmed, and clandestine transit through Hormuz indicates persistent regional risk.
