Trader consensus overwhelmingly favors 0-10 ships as the average daily transits through the Strait of Hormuz by April 30, reflecting ship-tracking data showing just 6-13 vessels on recent days like April 28-29—far below pre-conflict norms of 100+. This commanding position stems from the 2026 US-Iran war's dual blockades: Iran's restrictions and minefields since late February, compounded by the US naval blockade of Iranian ports announced April 13 amid retaliatory attacks on commercial shipping. Failed ceasefires and President Trump's April 30 warning of prolonged enforcement have deterred non-Iranian traffic, with only sanctioned or local vessels risking passage per Kpler and AIS reports. A surprise diplomatic deal or verified de-escalation could challenge this, enabling broader commercial flows.
