🚨 SAUDI ARABIA DIVERTS OIL EXPORTS THROUGH THE SUEZ CANAL — VOYAGES NOW TAKE 48 DAYS INSTEAD OF 19
#SaudiRoutesOilExportsViaSuez is trending, and it explains a huge piece of why oil just broke $100 — this isn't just about less supply, it's about supply taking$BTC dramatically longer to arrive 👇
🔑 What's Actually Happening:
🛢️ Saudi Arabia had already shifted most Gulf exports to its Red Sea port of Yanbu after Hormuz was disrupted back in February
🛢️ But Houthi attacks on two Saudi tankers this week made even the Red Sea route (Bab al-Mandeb) unsafe$ETH
— so exports are now being rerouted a second time, through the Suez Canal and around Africa's Cape of Good Hope
🛢️ Saudi Red Sea exports had hit a record 4.7M barrels/day from March-June, up from just 1.6M a year earlier —$SOL
meaning this reroute affects a massive volume, not a side channel
🛢️ Voyage time to Asia: from 19–24 days up to 48–54 days
🛢️ Fuel cost per tanker: from ~$1.26M to ~$2.87M, plus roughly $1M in Suez transit fees on top
⚡ Why This Matters More Than a Simple Supply Cut:
This is a structural, weeks-long delay stacking on top of an already-tight market — even if fighting stopped tomorrow, these longer voyages mean the supply crunch has effectively been locked in for over a month. That's a different kind of pressure than a headline price spike, and it's part of what's kept oil above $100 and pinned below $65,000 this week.
⚖️ Bull Case vs. Bear Case:
🐂 If Saudi Arabia successfully keeps volumes flowing (even slower and pricier), it avoids the worst-case scenario of an outright supply halt,
🐻 A 48-day voyage means today's rerouting decisions won't show up as delivered barrels for over a month — the supply crunch, and the inflation/risk-off pressure on crypto, may not have peaked yet
