Dan Murphy's Hormuz oil report takes off on CNBC International Live
On its own, the day-old Squawk Box segment is running at nearly the pace the whole channel usually keeps across everything it has posted.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 50,891 views a day, 56 times a normal first day on this channel (904).
Oil rises as Trump rejects Iran's Hormuz proposal
A short market segment about crude prices has become the busiest thing on CNBC International Live. "Oil rises as Trump rejects Iran's Hormuz proposal" went up on September 28. It is moving at roughly fifty-six times the pace a new video on this channel usually manages on its first day.
That usual first day is a quiet one. The channel carries a steady flow of clips from CNBC's live programming in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and a fresh upload normally gathers views slowly. This one is running at close to the rate the entire channel collects in a typical day.
The clip is tagged to Squawk Box, CNBC's morning business show. Dan Murphy reports from Abu Dhabi as oil pushes higher after President Trump turned down a conditional Iranian offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. According to the description, Trump told Axios he expected further negotiations that week. The strait is the narrow passage between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula, one of the most important routes for the world's oil tankers, so news about it tends to show up quickly in crude prices.
