Saudi oil-export threat deepens as Hormuz traffic collapses
Saudi Arabia could run out of oil for export within days after a pipeline outage, potentially affecting roughly 4% of global supply. Vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen to single digits as fighting in Yemen and attacks on Saudi Arabia intensify.
The combined risk to pipeline and maritime routes could trigger a severe global energy shock and widen the regional conflict.
