⭕️ NEW: Middle East oil exports appear to have surpassed prewar levels despite escalating attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Kpler data cited by the Wall Street Journal.
Regional oil shipments averaged more than 24 million barrels per day in the week through October 18, compared with 23.3 million before the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran began in February.
The report said the recovery has been made possible by the improvised shipping system, including tanker-to-tanker transfers in the Gulf of Oman, and expanded use of Saudi and Emirati pipelines bypassing Hormuz.
The Kpler chart below tracks Gulf and Gulf of Oman exports, excluding Red Sea shipments. Its latest 14 days of data remain subject to upward revision, but the seven-day average appears to have tagged 20 million barrels per day in regional exports.
@RealSKeshel Do you think most pollsters can’t accurately sample republicans because we don’t answer most polls, or do you think they purposely over sample Dems just to drive an agenda? Combo of both?
@RealSKeshel I live in north Texas area and it’s all going red. The early votes are good but a bunch of reps still only vote on Election Day. More to come!!
@RealSKeshel I think the best part is we honestly don’t know who is voting democrat or republican. That few minutes in the booth is the time you have no pressure and make the right decision for your family. No poll can capture that.
