According to CoinMeta, as reported by Axios, the United States has established a secret oil transportation corridor in the Strait of Hormuz, with a daily transportation volume of up to 10 million barrels. Although this figure is still about half of the pre-war transportation volume, the presence of U.S. military forces, including the protection of fighter jets, indicates that Washington is committed to maintaining the openness of this corridor, which may reassure shipping companies and insurance firms considering the resumption of Gulf transportation. Despite some improvement in the overall supply situation, prices may still remain sensitive to the risk of individual attacks.
