| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2026-12-24 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. Reuters reported shipping data showing about 20 million barrels leaving Hormuz in 24 hours on 24 June, and Bloomberg reported an IEA estimate of UAE exports near 85% of pre-war levels (ev-20261027-7wy5), but the record holds no pre-war Hormuz crude baseline to compare against. Next check on the ladder from 2026-06-24 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
