Post-War Traffic Peak Keeps Hormuz July YES Pinned at 48.5%
Hormuz July YES is at 48.5% as of 08:46 UTC Thursday; post-war traffic hit a weekend high but confirmed mines block the central channel from full recovery.
The Strait of Hormuz July 31 recovery contract is at 48.5% as of 08:46 UTC Thursday — up 3pp from Wednesday's 24-hour open of 45.5% and at its session high, after bottoming at 42.5% earlier in Wednesday's session. Shipping traffic cleared its post-war high over the June 21–23 weekend, but confirmed mines in the central channel keep the IMF Portwatch resolution threshold out of reach and the contract near even money.
