Hormuz riapre, ma il greggio resta sopra i 100 dollari
Il traffico nello Stretto di Hormuz è risalito all'85-90% dei livelli precedenti al conflitto. Nonostante ciò, il prezzo del petrolio rimane intorno ai 100 dollari al barile. Anthony Willis di Columbia Threadneedle Investments spiega le ragioni di questa tenuta.
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has recovered to 85–90% of its pre-conflict level, indicating a substantial reopening of the route. Despite that recovery, crude oil prices remain around $100 per barrel. Anthony Willis of Columbia Threadneedle Investments points to reasons for this continued strength, suggesting that the return of shipping alone has not been enough to bring prices down.
Oil near $100 a barrel could keep fuel, transport, and production costs elevated, affecting households, businesses, and import-dependent economies. Even as Hormuz traffic recovers, consumers may still face pressure through energy bills and goods prices. Investors and energy firms could see continued uncertainty, while policymakers may assess how sustained crude prices influence inflation and growth. The effects may differ by region and income group.
