China Urges Normal Hormuz Passage as Trump Reinstates Blockade
energy_supply_shockMiddle EastBloomberg14 Jul, 10:43 UTC
Context
China called for restoring normal passage through the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible after President Donald Trump reinstated the US blockade of Iranian ships transiting through the vital waterway.
What it means
China calling for normal Hormuz passage is a diplomatic statement, not a new supply disruption or escalation. Brent and WTI crude have already been flagged as the key assets to watch in this ongoing situation over the past 40 days, and this headline adds no new information beyond what the market has already had time to price in.
