Story summary

Goldman Sachs analysts say Persian Gulf oil exports rose to about 15-16 million barrels per day.
Exports stay 7-8 million barrels per day below pre-conflict levels but far above the March trough of 5-6 million.
Higher dark-ship flows and ship-to-ship transfers are moderating crude price upside despite ongoing Middle East disruptions.
Global crude prices fell to around $89 a barrel from over $120 in April, helped by the export rebound.
