Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is recovering as US naval escorts secure the passage, according to reports from Media Indonesia.

The military presence has allowed commercial vessels to resume transit, marking a tangible shift in the corridor's operational status after weeks of heightened risk.

Despite the improved security environment, crude oil export volumes remain significantly depressed compared to pre-conflict baselines.

The partial restoration of flow suggests that while immediate physical threats to shipping have been mitigated, market confidence and logistical normalization have yet to fully return.

Traders are likely to view this as a step toward stability rather than a complete resolution of supply-side risks.

This development follows recent diplomatic progress, with mediators confirming that the United States and Iran have established direct communication lines to keep the strait open.
