Shipping traffic via Strait of Hormuz stays below 10-day average, data shows

Six commodity vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, a decrease from the previous day. Meanwhile, twenty-five commodity vessels passed through the Bab el-Mandeb strait on the same day. These figures are slightly below the recent ten-day averages for both key maritime routes. Regional tensions intensified as Iran-backed Houthis launched strikes on Saudi Arabian cities.
