Global oil liftings into tankers have recovered to their pre-war level, propelled by a surge in liftings from the Americas, according to data reported by @JavierBlas. A chart from Vortexa illustrates this trend on a 7-day moving average, showing the worldwide recovery in oil loaded onto tankers.

The data indicates that after a period of lower activity, liftings have now matched levels seen before the unspecified war.

The surge in the Americas has been the key driver behind this global rebound, as detailed in the Vortexa chart shared by @JavierBlas. This regional increase has offset any lingering disruptions elsewhere, restoring overall liftings to pre-war benchmarks.
