Iraqi oil stranded by the Middle East conflict has escaped the Persian Gulf over the past 10 days as transit via the Strait of Hormuz eased during an uneasy US-Iran ceasefire.

Vessels carrying about 14 million barrels of Iraqi oil exited the Gulf in the latter part of June and are now carrying crude to buyers in Asia, Europe and the US, according to tanker tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s the equivalent of about 1.4 million barrels a day over the 10-day period.
