توقع: Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal by July 31?

Platform comparison

Market context

The Strait of Hormuz is still running far below normal, with PortWatch last reported at 27 transits on 28 June against a pre-crisis baseline of 84 a day, and other trackers showing only a partial rebound at best. Reuters reported on 9 July that tanker traffic was at a near standstill after renewed U.S. airstrikes on Iran and retaliatory attacks, while CNBC said Lloyd’s List counted just 53 transits in the week to 20 July, down sharply from the previous week. [3][4][1]

The market’s 1% pricing is consistent with the gap between current traffic and the threshold the contract needs: a 7-day moving average of 60 or more. Comparable data points have mostly sat in the 30 to 40 range in early July, and even the brief rebound described by Kpler still left crossings well below pre-crisis norms. The key historical lesson is that this is not just about one day of higher traffic; the average has to recover and stay elevated, which has not yet been shown by the published figures. [2][6][7]

For traders, the main catalysts are fresh security incidents, official de-escalation statements, and any change in shipping behaviour captured by the daily PortWatch releases. A renewed attack, blockade warning, or insurance-related pullback would keep the average suppressed, while a durable ceasefire or verified reopening of the corridor would need to feed through to several consecutive high-traffic days before the market can move materially. PortWatch’s own publication cadence matters here because the contract resolves on the published 7-day moving average, so a delayed or revised data point could matter as much as the underlying vessel flow.
