Hormuz: Return of Gulf Oil Exports Fails to Lower Prices
Gulf oil exports recovered to near pre-war levels in September following the American-Israeli war against Iran, yet prices have not fallen as promised.

Oil exports from the Gulf region reached levels in September nearly identical to those recorded before the start of the American-Israeli war against Iran, according to data cited by industry observers.
US President Donald Trump had promised that oil prices would fall once the threat to the Strait of Hormuz — a strategic chokepoint for a large share of the world's oil — had eased.
Yet despite this return of oil flows to near-normal levels, oil prices are showing no significant decline in line with that promise.
Several factors beyond the volume of exports transiting the Strait of Hormuz can influence global oil prices, including overall demand and decisions by oil-producing nations.
No official explanation has been provided by the US administration for the gap between the promise of lower prices and the trajectory observed in the markets.
