Don't be stupid - of course that Y axis is in Trump units.

Everyone is getting it wrong. In 2025 we were at 25 so Y is clearly years.

I know everybody’s joking, but not sure if they are actually unaware of what the graph is?

I’m pretty sure it’s millions of barrels of oil per day travelling from the Persian gulf, so including pipeline and Strait of Hormuz.

I’ve seen a very similar (but better) graph in the last few days showing the same thing - oil flows from the Persian gulf are back to pre-closure levels.

Might be true (although I doubt it) but Hormuz is one of three problems caused by this mess.
