Oil Market Fallout: Brent settled about 1% higher near $95.6 as Hormuz shipping risk spiked; the Strait’s traffic reportedly fell sharply, and prices swung on fears of supply disruption. Iraq Export Resilience: Despite the Hormuz crisis, Iraq’s oil exports jumped about 73% in August to around 2.34M bpd, helped by steep discounts, smaller tankers, and ship-to-ship transfers off Oman. Opec+ Watch: Reuters reports Opec+ is likely to keep output policy unchanged, with Iraq included among core members. Regional Diplomacy: Qatar reiterated support for de-escalation and freedom of maritime navigation as the crisis deepened.
