Commodity vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz fell to two on Monday from 10 a day earlier, according to preliminary shipping data reported by Reuters; the count excludes ships sailing with transponders off. Before the war the strait handled about 125 large commercial vessels a day.
Why it matters
Tracked transits stayed a fraction of pre-war traffic, which is why reopening the strait is at the center of the US-Iran contacts in New York.
