Hormuz Traffic Remains Subdued Amid Iran Peace-Deal Uncertainty, Bloomberg Analysis Says

By

Commercial vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained limited on Tuesday amid uncertainty over a potential US-Iran peace deal, according to Bloomberg analysis.

Ship-tracking data indicated only two inbound commercial transits on Tuesday morning, following two outbound movements on Monday.

Though Iranian media reported that 24 vessels had transited the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours with authorization from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, analysts said such figures are difficult to verify due to frequent electronic interference and potential data overlap with smaller coastal craft.

President Trump has expressed continued hope for an interim peace deal, even as Iran signaled potential friction in negotiations following escalating hostilities involving Israel in Lebanon.

Iranian officials are reportedly reviewing a "final text" to be sent to the US, while reiterating concerns that Washington has previously failed to uphold commitments in earlier discussions.

Meanwhile, regional shipping patterns have also been affected by the US blockade of Iranian-linked vessels in the Gulf of Oman. The US Central Command said on Monday that 121 commercial vessels had been rerouted as a result of recent security measures.

Maritime tracking has been further complicated by persistent AIS signal interference in the region, with vessel counts likely to be revised as ships re-emerge outside high-risk zones.

Industry analysts say Iranian and Iran-linked vessels have frequently switched off tracking systems when approaching the Strait, a practice that predates current tensions and can leave ships untraceable for extended periods.

Trump Says US-Iran Talks Continue; Rubio Says US Prefers Negotiations to Reopen Hormuz

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that US-Iran talks are "going on continuously," dismissing media reports that indicate that stated talks were halted.Trump said in a Truth Social post that reports of a halt in US-Iran communications were "false and erroneous" and that discussions between Washington and Tehran remained ongoing."The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today," Trump said."Where they lead, one never knows, but as I told Iran, 'It's time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You've been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer'," Trump said, reiterating his call for Tehran to reach an agreement.Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio struck a similar diplomatic tone during a Senate hearing on Tuesday while outlining the administration's conditions for restoring commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.Rubio said the Trump administration has not discussed sanctions relief for Iran in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that any easing of restrictions must remain tied to Tehran's nuclear activities."... any sanctions relief is condition-based, which means it has to be in return for the reason why those sanctions were put in place in the first place, which is their nuclear program," Rubio said."Iran is being sanctioned because they've highly enriched uranium. Iran is being sanctioned because of their nuclear activities. If they agree to give up those things, there will be sanctions relief associated with their commitment and compliance," Rubio said.He added that the US would prefer to continue negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz."If Iran wants to be able to move its oil again... they will have to reopen the Strait, if they refuse to do so, then we have other options available to us but we would prefer to negotiate," Rubio said.He added that Iran must reopen the Strait of Hormuz, stop charging transit fees and end threats against commercial vessels before broader negotiations can proceed. "They have to announce very clearly, that straits are now open, we're are not charging a toll, we'll help remove the mines... and they will not fire on ships," Rubio said.After reopening the Strait, talks would shift to Iran's nuclear program and its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, Rubio said."Phase two is... the disposition of the highly enriched uranium that is still very deep in the mountains somewhere," Rubio said, adding that Iran must accept severe long-term limits on uranium enrichment or agree to end the activity altogether.Rubio said specialists would likely need up to 90 days to work through technical details surrounding Iran's nuclear program if Tehran agrees to proceed.Rubio said Iran's supreme leader remains alive and is becoming increasingly involved in decision-making, suggesting Tehran's leadership continues to play an active role in ongoing discussions with the US.On energy markets, Rubio said countries across the Indo-Pacific remain heavily dependent on flows through the Strait of Hormuz and will need time to diversify supplies.The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly 80% to 90% of the Indo-Pacific's energy supplies, Rubio said, adding that the region will see "more diversification on where they get the energy from, including from the United States."Asked whether he could commit to not extending a general license tied to Russian oil transactions when it expires on June 17, Rubio said the decision ultimately rests with the Treasury Department.Rubio said the administration previously approved the temporary measure to help maintain global oil supplies and avoid disruptions that could have pushed energy prices higher, describing the license as a time-limited response to market conditions.Oil prices rose in midday trading on Tuesday as investors monitored developments in US-Iran negotiations, with Brent crude increasing 1.14% to $96.06 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude gaining 1.83% to $93.85/bbl.

Market Chatter: UAE Weighs Products Pipeline Bypassing Strait of Hormuz

The UAE is weighing plans to build an additional pipeline for refined petroleum products that would bypass the Strait of Hormuz and deliver fuels directly to the country's east coast, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing a senior executive at Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.Adnoc, which is already constructing a crude pipeline aimed at doubling capacity to the port of Fujairah on the UAE's eastern seaboard, is now "potentially" considering a separate conduit for oil products, Philippe Khoury, executive vice president for sales & trading, reportedly said at S&P Global's Middle East Petroleum & Gas Conference in London.Adnoc did not immediately reply to a request for comment by.The UAE currently relies on a 1.5 million barrel-per-day pipeline linking its inland oil fields to Fujairah, a route that has served as a critical alternative during recent Middle East tensions that disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.The pipeline has allowed the UAE to maintain export flows and partially offset revenue losses after Iran effectively curtailed normal transit through the Strait following the outbreak of conflict in late February.Adnoc is accelerating expansion plans already underway, reflecting efforts to strengthen export resilience and reduce exposure to potential disruptions at the key shipping chokepoint.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

EMEA Oil Update: Crude Rises as Markets Weigh US-Iran Peace Prospects

EMEA crude futures rose in after-hours trading on Tuesday as markets weighed the prospects of a US-Iran peace deal, following President Trump's statement that talks with Iran were ongoing amid conflicting reports from Tehran.Brent crude futures gained 0.74% to $95.64 per barrel, while Murban oil futures advanced 1.57% to $95.91/bbl."Crude oil continues to trade from one headline to the next, making it increasingly difficult for traders to maintain conviction beyond a few hours," a Saxo Bank strategist said, adding that global energy markets continue to tighten, with the main focus remaining on the Strait of Hormuz.On Tuesday, Trump said that reports suggesting that the US and Iran had stopped communicating are "fake and erroneous," adding that talks between the two sides have continued over recent days."The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today," Trump said in a social media post on X.The US President reportedly said that a memorandum of understanding with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached over the next week. Trump said the US still had "to get a few more points" before a deal.Iran, meanwhile, suspended the exchange of messages with US negotiators for at least several days and issued threats against vessels transiting the Bab el Mandeb, the Red Sea chokepoint that carries a major share of the world's energy shipments.ING strategists said the Bab el-Mandeb threat is a concern for oil markets, given that Saudi Arabia has diverted a large amount of crude that should have been exported from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea.Fueling uncertainty, Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered differing accounts of a call about the fighting in Lebanon.Trump said on Monday that he held a call with the Israeli leader, whom he instructed to halt a planned Israeli attack on parts of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, while Netanyahu released a statement saying he had told the US President that his country would attack targets in Beirut if Hezbollah did not stop attacking Israel amid ongoing strikes in Southern Lebanon."With commercial traffic through Hormuz still constrained and geopolitical tensions extending to Lebanon, investors remain focused on the risk of prolonged supply disruptions in a region," said Soojin Kim, research analyst at MUFG.The Middle East conflict has morphed into a stalemate with the Strait largely shut for more than three months after the US-Israel alliance launched strikes against Iran. Traffic via the strategic waterway remains constrained, with CENTCOM saying on Monday that US forces redirected 122 Iran-linked commercial vessels.
