Golden Ten Data reported on July 6 that at least eight vessels controlled by Mitsui OSK Lines are using routes near Iran to leave the Strait of Hormuz, including some of the last batch of tankers trapped in the strait. According to ship tracking data and the Equasis database, these vessels include five very large crude carriers, two chemical carriers, and one car carrier. They are sailing in formation, with some vessels having previously attempted to exit but turned back midway. If these vessels complete their passage, it will mean that of the more than 100 large tankers trapped in the Persian Gulf since early March, only a few will remain.

According to ChainCatcher, citing Golden Ten Data, analysts at Société Générale stated in a report that the US dollar's strength is expected to persist into the second half of 2026. The United States is the only G10 economy whose average growth expectations this year are higher than at the beginning of the year. The bank expects the dollar index to rise to 103.6 by the end of the year, while the euro-dollar exchange rate will fall to 1.11.
