Crude oil prices fell in early trading as reported flows out of the Strait of Hormuz rose to above pre-war levels, according to Kpler data highlighted by OilPrice.

Brent stayed above $100, with Brent quoted around $101.5, while WTI was around $89.9 in early moves, the outlet said.

OilPrice also noted that Kpler had previously said tanker traffic via Hormuz was close to pre-war levels, even as attacks by the Houthis targeted Saudi energy infrastructure and Iran attacked tankers in the region.
