On the first full day of a maritime blockade imposed by the United States against Iran, shipping data indicates that several tankers continue to navigate the critical Strait of Hormuz. The blockade was initiated following the collapse of diplomatic negotiations held in Pakistan, raising immediate concerns over the stability of global energy benchmarks such as Brent Crude Oil and West Texas Oil.
