  "account": "The soaring costs associated with transportation are hindering a drop in 'brent' crude prices, adding up to 35 dollars per barrel. Persian Gulf countries are apparently finding a way to circumvent Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. The navigation near Oman's coast, monitored by the US navy, has become the alternative for releasing the crude supply, to the extent that exports are approaching pre-war levels. However, this reactivation is not providing greater fluidity to navigation: leaving Hormuz by evading Iranian attacks involves the transfer of cargo ship to ship, which reduces the available supply of oil tankers for other routes, and navigation remains dangerous. Iran is not able to block maritime traffic in this strategic enclave, which has increased attacks on oil tankers in recent days. That is why oil, despite the recovery of supply, remains anchored at the 100 dollars mark. The crude, a physical good whose price is determined in the futures market, incorporates both a soaring transportation cost and a risk premium for the possibility of further attacks.",
