From trickle to torrent: Hormuz reopening may trigger a global oil flood

The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a faster-than-expected recovery in global oil supplies. With tankers already positioned near the Gulf and oil infrastructure largely preserved during the shutdown, producers are expected to ramp up output quickly once shipping resumes. Industry experts believe a significant portion of the region's production capacity could return within days or weeks, helping restore market balance and easing concerns about prolonged supply disruptions.
