Crude oil flows from the Middle East have nearly returned to pre-war levels, reaching 98% for crude and 58% for refined products, according to JPMorgan Chase analysts. Saudi Arabia has restored about half of its East-West pipeline capacity after recent damage. Despite increased shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, risks to shipping remain due to ongoing regional conflict and attacks on vessels. The US maintains a blockade on Iranian ports while supporting other nations' transits, reflecting continued tensions in the area.
