Qatari crude oil returns to Asian market as Strait of Hormuz reopens for trade
Qatar has resumed crude oil exports to Asia for the first time since the Iran war began, with Al-Shaheen grade sold to Formosa Petrochemical Corp and Indian refiners. The Strait of Hormuz is seeing increased tanker traffic following a US-Iran deal, though exports remain well below pre-war levels. Oil futures edged up after a attack on a cargo ship raised safety concerns.
