Data from Vortexa shows that Irans exports averaged approximately 209,000 barrels per day in May, a significant drop from 1.34 million barrels in April and nearly 1.9 million barrels in March, marking the lowest level since the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020. Vortexa analyst Claire Jungman stated, "Key drivers appear to include the volatile situation around the Strait of Hormuz, the US naval blockade of ships entering and leaving Iranian ports, and a general reluctance among shipowners, shipping companies, insurance companies, and trading partners to expose ships and crew to the current security environment." Data from another agency, Kpler, shows a similar decline, but it slightly revised its May export figures upward to 260,000 barrels per day, still the lowest level in six years.Russian President Vladimir Putin: I hope that all parties to the conflict in Iran can find a solution.Russian President Vladimir Putin: US President Donald Trumps peace proposals could serve as the basis for a peace agreement with Ukraine.

The conclusion of the Argentine truckers' strike increases grain shipments

The Argentine truckers' strike ended on Thursday, when several unions incensed by fuel shortages reached an agreement to terminate the one-week protest near the vital port of Rosario, which is expected to assist future grain exports.


The truck driver's protest over high gasoline prices has halted shipments of corn and other goods, just as the bulk of the harvest was making its way to ports for export to worldwide markets.


Due to the exclusion of a few tiny truckers groups from the deal, however, it is possible that certain protests may continue.


Argentina is the second-largest exporter of maize, the top exporter of processed soy oil and meal, and a major supplier of wheat and beef.


One of the unions, Autoconvocados Unidos, issued the following statement: "Despite our dissatisfaction (with the latest settlement of truck freight rates) and in light of the present crisis in our country, we have chosen to halt the strike."


The union described their action as an act of kindness.


The number of trucks entering ports surged by 70 percent on Thursday compared to the previous day, reaching approximately 1,500 vehicles, as reported by the Rosario grains market.


The Rosario ports are the departure point for 80 percent of Argentina's agricultural exports, the vast majority of which are transported by truck.


The ability of trucks to access the port is returning to normal, according to the manager of the country's marine port chamber, Guillermo Wade.


Additionally on Wednesday, the transport ministry secured a deal with non-striking agricultural and transport groups to hike grain freight charges by 25%.


However, the majority of protesting unions, led by the UNTRA truckers' union, felt the rate increase insufficient and chose to dismantle highway blockades.


The head of the UNTRA, Carlos Geneiro, said, "We have far greater expenses than that."
