Shares of SpaceX climbed in their first day of trading on Friday following a $75 billion IPO that smashed records and instantly turned the crown jewel of Elon Musk’s empire into one of the most valuable public companies in the world.

At the start of the war in late February, about 20 million barrels of daily shipments were stranded as the strait was effectively shut. Several million barrels were diverted to alternative ports outside the Persian Gulf, leaving about 14 million trapped, Wright says.
