Shipping traffic through Strait of Hormuz dips below 10-day average

Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen below its 10-day average, according to available data. The decline reflects ongoing volatility in one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints.

However, exact figures remain difficult to verify, as some vessels routinely disable their transponders during passage, obscuring their movements and potentially masking the true volume of traffic through the strait.
