US energy secretary says 20 million barrels of oil exited Hormuz in last 24 hours
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Wednesday that about 20 million barrels of crude oil had passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, and tankers were still moving through the key Middle East energy supply route. "I would say about 72 ships in the last 24 hours, 20 million barrels of oil," Wright said at the Reuters World Energy Forum in New York, when asked about the amount of oil that had left the strait. "Iran will not have the ability to close the Strait of Hormuz in the future. This is a very important issue, this is their key leverage, and we are taking that leverage away from them."

Strait of Hormuz traffic remains active, but recovery stays cautious • • Confirmed vessel activity through the Strait of Hormuz remained steady on 23 June, with 31 verified crossings recorded across commercial and energy-linked vessels. According to #MarineTraffic data, west-to-east movements dominated, while vessels continued to use a mix of Iranian, Omani, and IMO route patterns through the chokepoint. The Strait appears to remain operational under the US-Iran MoU framework, but continued dark-route activity and uncertainty beyond the current 60-day window suggest operators are still moving cautiously rather than returning to fully normal traffic patterns.

How did this market resolve?
This market will resolve according to the finalized total number of transit calls that IMF Portwatch reports for the Strait of Hormuz for all days from June 15, 2026, through June 21, 2026, inclusive.
Transit calls include container, dry bulk, roll-on/roll-off, general cargo, and tanker ships. Ships not reported by IMF Portwatch will not be considered.
Data for a specific date must be finalized before it is considered for this market (namely, once the next date's data point is available, the previous one is finalized).
This market will resolve as soon as data has been finalized for the final date in the specified period. If the data for the final date of the specified period has not been finalized by the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the day on which such data is released, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point. Additionally, if not all relevant data has been released and finalized within 14 calendar days of the end of the specified period, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point.
In case of obvious data integrity issues (i.e., erroneous data), the market may remain open until the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the date on which such data is first released to allow for corrections. Data integrity issues refer only to clerical or other similar errors in the underlying data, and do not include cases where IMF Portwatch differs from alternative sources.
Only revisions to previously published data points made before the applicable resolution time will be considered.
The resolution source for this market will be IMF Portwatch, specifically the transit calls data published for the Strait of Hormuz at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a1730, both in the chart and through downloadable files.
