Last update: 11 hours agoHormuz Shock Hits Iraq Exports: Iraq’s new oil minister says April exports through the Strait of Hormuz collapsed to about 10 million barrels, down from roughly 93 million barrels per month before the war, as tankers stay away and Baghdad leans on pipelines to Turkey’s Ceyhan and tanker trucks via Syria. Iran Signals More Control: Iran’s parliament security chief says Tehran has finalized a Hormuz traffic mechanism with a designated route and fees for cooperating parties, while state TV says Europeans are in talks with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards for passage. US-Iran Diplomacy Stalls: Trump says he’s losing patience and claims Xi agreed Hormuz should reopen, but China hasn’t confirmed; Iran warns the US is driving economic pain and says it will negotiate only if Washington is serious. Market Spillover: Oil prices jumped on renewed disruption fears, and the IMF warns the global economy is sliding toward a worse scenario if the war drags on. Local Fuel Reality (US): GasBuddy reports show pockets of lower prices in the US week ending May 9, but the broader theme is still volatility tied to Hormuz risk.
