Escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly Iran's threats to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz amid Israel-Iran exchanges, drive trader consensus toward very low average daily ship transits (0-10 at 68.5%) by month's end. Recent Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping have amplified fears of spillover, prompting some vessels to reroute and reducing traffic volumes. Official reports indicate transits already dipping below historical averages of 50-60 ships per day due to heightened insurance risks and naval patrols by US and Iranian forces. While no full closure has occurred, warnings from Tehran following Israeli strikes position low-transit scenarios as leading outcomes, with higher bins like 60+ at just 5.3% reflecting caution over potential retaliatory actions.
