I read yesterday that part of the problem was that the oil tankers that were moving through the straight turned off their transponders so it appeared that they weren't moving so that made the futures rise. So when they figured out what had happened it made the futures go back down. So an artificial spike and a slow return to level. Yea sounds right.
