Kuwait Petroleum CEO: Crude Oil Exports Back to Pre-War Levels

The signal here is operational normalisation rather than a hard number: Kuwait's state producer is telling the market that its export machine is running again, and the detail about buyers physically travelling to the Gulf suggests logistics, not just production, have been restored. That matters most for refinery customers and shipping channels that had priced in Gulf disruption risk. The absence of volumes or a timeline leaves the claim unverified, so whether independent tanker-tracking data corroborates the return to pre-war flow rates is the open question.
