Strait of Hormuz transits hit two-month low after attacks

Commodity vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz fell to seven on October 6, the lowest since July 23, per Kpler data, following recent attacks. The drop signals heightened risk in a critical chokepoint, though it is unclear if this reflects rerouting, delays, or reduced demand. This matters as sustained low transits could tighten global energy supply and raise shipping costs.
