AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoStrait of Hormuz Disruption: The UN’s IMO paused its evacuation/escort plan after a projectile hit the Singapore-flagged Ever Lovely off Oman, with the UKMTO reporting damage but no casualties; Iran’s IRGC and the new Strait authority again warned ships against using routes outside Tehran-approved lanes, raising fresh uncertainty for the corridor that had been reopening after the US-Iran ceasefire. Shipping Recovery vs. Risk: S&P Global reported a new daily record of 78 Hormuz transits (about 57% of pre-war levels) as tankers used an Oman/IMO-backed safe corridor, but the attack has now rattled schedules and safety guarantees. Diplomatic Friction: Iran condemned a US-GCC statement in Manama as “provocative,” while South Korea and Iran agreed to keep close contact on Hormuz ship safety after the US-Iran MoU. Energy Market Impact: Oil prices slid more than 2% as supply outlook improved with more tankers exiting, even as the Hormuz attack kept a security premium alive. Aviation Fallout: Heathrow forecast a 1.1% passenger decline this year due to Iran-war volatility, with Middle East route traffic down 25%. Regional Logistics Angle: Portugal highlighted its port and multimodal connectivity as a strategic logistics gateway amid Hormuz-linked route fragility.
