AI Summary
Summarized by AI from the source belowPresident Trump stated that the U.S. military assisted 200 commercial ships, enabling the passage of over 100 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. This maneuver was presented as a means to control oil prices, which remain around $90 per barrel instead of potentially exceeding $200. Notably, traffic through the Hormuz strait is below prewar levels, with an estimated 20 million barrels per day historically passing through prior to recent conflicts. Analysts from JPMorgan suggested that around 2 million barrels per day could still be slipping through undetected due to transponder shutdowns.
