CL Hits a Five-Week High as the Red Sea Threat Closes Saudi's Hormuz Bypass
WTI's Hyperliquid perp is at $86.01, up 4.98% over 24 hours and posting a third straight session of gains to a five-week high. The move isn't a new catalyst so much as an old one doubling its surface area: US strikes on Iran continue, a Kuwaiti tanker was struck in the Strait of Hormuz, and Houthi threats against Saudi shipping in the Red Sea just forced two Saudi crude tankers to turn back. That Red Sea route was the workaround for a choked Hormuz, so both of the kingdom's export exits now carry a war premium at once. OPEC+ keeps nominally adding barrels and ceasefire chatter keeps capping the top, which is why this stays a two-way trade.
