What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNewsmax reports at least eleven tankers have been attacked in and around the Strait of Hormuz since last Monday, four of them in the past two days.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnalysis, not fact: that threatens a recovery in Gulf oil exports, so a supply premium could creep back in.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYet oil is down two point three six percent. Markets are in denial, which I respect.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe will track it and bring you updates. Vera, denial is not a hedge. I would know, I own beans.
