Oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz recovered on Tuesday, prompting Saudi Arabia to lower crude prices even as Brent stayed above $100 per barrel. Bloomberg later reported the pipeline flowing as normal.
Despite the price cut, Brent crude prices remained above the $100 mark, reflecting tight market conditions. The resurgence in flow comes amid ongoing fighting for Red Sea control and fresh strikes on regional energy assets, which temper optimism about the oil market.
Analysts note the conflicting reports—one confirming operation, another citing a halt—highlight the fluid situation. CBS News continues to track the Red Sea engagement, noting that attacks on infrastructure keep the market wary.
