  Oil prices turn lower as Bessent says U.S. may have Iran deal "today or tomorrow"
  Oil prices slumped on Tuesday, erasing earlier gains, following a string of potentially positive headlines on Middle East peace talks.

Read more Oil prices slumped on Tuesday, erasing earlier gains, following a string of potentially positive headlines on Middle East peace talks.
  
  As of 07:45 ET, Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, had ticked down by 1.8% to $82.23 per barrel, after having gained more than 2.5% previously during the session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures dropped 2.6% to $78.24 per barrel. Get premium commodity market insights with InvestingPro - now 55% off
  
  U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC that he believed the U.S. and Iran were nearing an agreement, noting that "there is a chance we may have a deal today or tomorrow" to open the Strait of Hormuz and "move towards a more normalized position in this conflict."
  
  Elsewhere, Qatar said a push to forge a diplomatic resolution to the Iran war is ongoing, with the efforts focused on de-escalation and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to media reports.
  
  The Gulf country, which has served as a regional mediator between Iran and the U.S., reportedly added that language on a possible deal has been drafted and is being circulated among negotiators. While there is currently no agreement to hold direct talks, a short-term resolution is the focus for Qatar, the reports said.
  
  Investors have been assessing conflicting signals from the U.S. and Iran on negotiations over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which revived concerns over persistent crude supply disruptions in the Middle East.
  
  U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said discussions with Iran were underway, warning that Tehran faced its "last chance" to reach a deal.
  
  However, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said the country was not currently in negotiations with the U.S. and was instead working with Oman on a route for vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The narrow waterway is vital conduit for roughly a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, making it a key flashpoint in the prolonged fighting between Washington and Tehran.
  
  The statements left the status of their on-again, off-again conflict murky. This, in turn, has threatened to dampen hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough, which were temporarily bolstered after Trump called off planned U.S. strikes on Iran over the weekend.
  
  "We’ve been in this situation multiple times before, only to see things unravel," ING analysts said in a note. "And with Iran denying that any talks are underway and Trump issuing warnings if no deal materialises, the backdrop clearly leaves ample room for a renewed escalation."
  
  Meanwhile, data released on Monday showed that U.S. crude exports fell to 3.66 million barrels per day in July, the lowest level in eight months, as increased Middle Eastern supply following June’s short-lived ceasefire reduced demand for American crude. Source: Investing.com

  Oil rises after steep losses as Trump, Iran send mixed signals on talks

Read more Oil prices rose more than 1% on Tuesday after falling sharply in the previous session, as conflicting signals over possible U.S.-Iran negotiations revived concerns that tensions in the Middle East could continue to threaten crude supplies.
  
  As of 00:34 ET (04:34 GMT), Brent Oil Futures expiring in October rose 1.4% to $84.94 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures for September gained 1% to $81.14 per barrel.
  
  Both benchmarks declined about 5% in the previous session on hopes of fresh U.S.-Iran negotiations.

  U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said talks with Iran were underway and described them as Tehran’s "last chance" to reach a deal.
  
  “We’re talking about the strait, the opening of the strait, having it open literally by tomorrow,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday.
  
  Iran publicly pushed back against any talks, with state media citing remarks from foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei, who said the country was not currently in negotiations with the U.S. and was instead working with Oman on a route for vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  The conflicting statements left traders reluctant to make aggressive bets after sharp losses on Monday.
  
  Monday’s selloff followed remarks by Trump that he had called off planned U.S. strikes on Iran and instead announced renewed talks with Tehran.
  
  "The scale of the sell-off seems fairly overdone, given that there’s still considerable uncertainty. We’ve been in this situation multiple times before, only to see things unravel," ING analysts said in a note.
  
  "And with Iran denying that any talks are underway and Trump issuing warnings if no deal materialises, the backdrop clearly leaves ample room for a renewed escalation," they added.
  
  The waterway, through which roughly a fifth of global oil consumption normally passes, remains a key focus for markets.

  Big Oil Companies Report Record Profits Amid High Oil Prices

Read more We are still in the early innings of the earnings season, with roughly a third of S&P 500 companies having returned their second quarter scorecards. And, it’s shaping up to be yet another bumper earnings season: according to FactSet data, 86% of those companies have exceeded Wall Street’s earnings projections while 80% have beaten revenue expectations.
  
  The Energy sector is reporting the highest earnings growth clip of all 11 market sectors at 128.2% Y/Y, well above the S&P 500 average at 37.9%, thanks in large part to higher oil prices amid the Middle East conflict. Brent crude averaged $92.55 per barrel in the second quarter, 45% above Q1 2026 average at $63.68/bbl. At the sub-industry level, 4 of the 5 sub-industries in the energy sector are reporting double-digit earnings growth: Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing (249%), Integrated Oil & Gas (166%), Oil & Gas Exploration & Production (104%), and Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation (11%). Only the Oil & Gas Equipment & Services sub-industry is reporting an earnings decline at -16% Y/Y. Two of the world’s largest oil and gas companies reported second quarter earnings on Friday.
  
  Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX) reported the highest quarterly profits in six years, easily beating Wall Street’s expectations. Chevron reported Q2 2026 earnings of $6.06 per share, comfortably beating the FactSet consensus estimate of $5.55 while revenue jumped to $70.06 billion (+56.2% Y/Y), beating Wall Street's $62.72 billion projection. Upstream earnings came in at $8.2 billion, good for a tripling year-over-year, while downstream earnings surged to $4.9 billion, up from $737 million the previous year. Total production reached 4.07 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day, with U.S. output hitting an all-time high of 2.08 boe. Production rose 20% Y/Y, driven by legacy Hess assets, the Permian Basin, and the Gulf of America. The company also achieved $1.5 billion in deal synergies from its Hess acquisition, six months ahead of schedule. Chevron maintained its steady capital return plan during the quarter. The company repurchased $3 billion in shares, paid out $3.5 billion in dividends, and paid down debt by a record $.4 billion during the quarter. Chief Financial Officer Eimear Bonner confirmed that full-year share repurchase targets will remain locked between $10 billion and $20 billion.
  
  Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) reported mixed results with Q2 Non-GAAP EPS of $3.52 missing by $0.11 mainly due to heavy refinery maintenance limiting fuel margin capture and price volatility, while revenue came in at $116.02 billion, up from $81.51 billion for last year’s corresponding quarter. Second quarter net profit was $14.5 billion, climbing to a four-year high driven by high oil prices and tight global supply, while free cash flow came in at $17.2 billion, exceeding expectations.
  
  ExxonMobil reported its highest upstream production in over 20 years (excluding Middle East's disruptions), powered by record output in the Permian Basin where output surpassed 1.8 million boepd, matching a planned 9% compound annual growth rate through 2030. ExxonMobil returned $9.4 billion to shareholders in the second quarter, consisting of $4.3 billion in dividends and $5.1 billion in share repurchases. The company announced it has realized $16.3 billion in cumulative structural cost savings relative to 2019 levels, driven by workforce reductions, digital tools and facility upgrades.
  
  The supermajor also highlighted several major milestones for its Guyana operations. The company’s 5th Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel (Uaru project) has officially set sail, with production startup firmly on track for fourth-quarter 2026, which will add 250,000 barrels per day (Kbd) of production capacity.
  
  ExxonMobil noted that current operations across the first four FPSOs are consistently producing approximately 100,000 barrels per day above their investment basis, achieving a 98% year-to-date reliability performance. According to ExxonMobil's chief financial officer, the company has fully recovered its initial $55 billion investment in Guyana since 2014, two years ahead of projections. Exxon will now book ~100,000 fewer barrels per day for cost recovery starting in Q3 2026, pivoting the contract into a 50/50 profit-oil split that will increase direct revenue for both the consortium and Guyana.
  
  Meanwhile, progress for the Longtail project in Guyana remains on schedule, which will mark Guyana’s first offshore development specifically targeting non-associated natural gas rather than oil. The layout targets up to 1.2 billion cubic feet of gas per day alongside 250,000 barrels of condensate, with a 2030 first-production window.
  
  Attention will now shift to the next wave of supermajor earnings, with BP scheduled to report on August 4, followed by ConocoPhillips on August 6. Investors will be looking beyond another likely jump in profits to gauge how management teams expect the current oil rally to hold up through the second half of the year. Capital spending, shareholder returns, production guidance, trading performance and any changes to long-term investment plans will be closely scrutinized after Chevron and ExxonMobil demonstrated just how quickly higher crude prices have translated into stronger cash flow and record capital returns.

Read more The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO — showed a downward movement on Aug. 03:
  
  380 HSFO: USD/MT: 613.70 (-8.02)
  VLSFO: USD/MT: 788.26 (-5.38)
  MGO: USD/MT: 1 342.98 (-10.70)
  
  As of Aug. 03, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which monitors the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP), indicated the following developments across the four major global bunkering hubs—Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: Fujairah moved into the undercharge zone, making all four ports underpriced. Discount margins widened by $24 in Rotterdam, $12 in Singapore, $28 in Fujairah, and $15 in Houston. Rotterdam’s MDI exceeded the $100 threshold, while Houston stayed above it.
  
  • VLSFO segment: Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston remained in the overpriced zone, although premium margins narrowed by $11, $32, and $14, respectively. Rotterdam continued to be the only underpriced port, with its discount widening by $14. Houston's MDI moved closer to the 100% correlation line between MBP and DBP.
  
  • MGO LS segment: All four ports remained undervalued. Discount margins widened by $71 in Rotterdam, $31 in Singapore, and $56 in Fujairah, while narrowing by $30 in Houston. The MDI for Rotterdam, Singapore, and Fujairah remained comfortably above the $100 threshold, whereas Houston fell below this level.
  
  MABUX expects Global bunker indices to enter a phase of irregular price fluctuations on Aug. 04 amid ongoing uncertainty over the US-Iran negotiations: 380 HSFO: plus-minus 5-10 USD/MT, VLSFO: plus-minus 5–15 USD/MT, MGO LS: plus-minus 2–30 USD/MT.
