Morgan Stanley said it counted 35 oil and gas tankers exiting the Persian Gulf through the strait on Thursday — the first time the level returned to the 30 to 40 range typical before the conflict started in February. To balance the oil market in 2027, flows through Hormuz only need to recover to about 65% of the pre-conflict level, or about 11 to 12 million barrels a day, the bank said.
