Oil printed higher Monday as Oman postponed the Hormuz ministerial. [1] Bloomberg filed the jump beside Saudi pressure after Houthi hits. [1] This paper's lead already named the Salalah delay. The energy remainder is the tick, not the table. A jump is not a deal. A jump is not a mapped prohibited zone.

Friday this paper printed 108 ahead of talks that had not yet been postponed. Monday's print above 107 in the same energy file is a new tick, not Friday reused. [1] Diesel complaints in U.S. copy are downstream. They are not a Strait survey. Do not write 20 million barrels restored because a meeting slipped.

East-West remains a named precaution in this paper's hold file. Five U.S. sinkings remain five. The zone remains blank. Those sentences do not move because crude ticked. Print the jump. Leave a close and a corridor to editions that own them.
