  At 08:01 ET (12:01 GMT), Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, declined 1.7% to $70.38 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures dipped 1.9% to $67.25 a barrel.
  
  Markets were digesting the outcome of indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Doha, where negotiators concluded two days of technical discussions without a breakthrough toward a lasting peace agreement, although Qatar said the talks made positive progress and both sides agreed to continue negotiations. The discussions focused on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and other confidence-building measures, while both sides agreed to continue negotiations, keeping hopes for a diplomatic resolution alive.
  
  Although tensions have eased since a flare-up in fighting in recent days, traders have continued to monitor developments closely, with any disruption to crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz still posing a possible risk to global energy supplies.
  
  Ample supplies keep pressure on crude
  On the supply side, fresh U.S. Energy Information Administration data showed domestic crude production climbed to a record 13.93 million barrels per day in April, reinforcing signs of abundant global supplies.
  
  ANZ said cooling geopolitical strains have also reduced supply concerns, although ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East has provided some underlying support for crude prices. The bank also noted its China Commodity Index rose 0.5%, with the energy component also advancing 0.5%, pointing to resilient underlying commodity demand despite the recent pullback in oil prices.

  Although tensions have eased since the recent conflict, traders continue to monitor developments closely, with any disruption to crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz still posing a key risk to global energy supplies.
  
  Meanwhile, crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz climbed above 10 million barrels per day, underscoring the market’s growing confidence that supplies will continue to flow despite lingering geopolitical risks.

  The Hydrogen Industry's Efficiency Problem May Have Just Met Its Fix

Read more A team of researchers in Germany has discovered a highly efficient way to convert sunlight into hydrogen fuel, potentially solving some of the most critical challenges facing the green hydrogen sector and offering an elegant solution to clean up some of the economy’s dirtiest industries. The new prototype, which uses a kind of solar cell used in spacecraft, is a proof-of-concept for what could someday make the production of totally clean-burning fuel a commercially scalable possibility.
  
  Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, combined photovoltaic cells with proton exchange membrane electrolyzer cells to create a totally new system capable of converting sunlight to hydrogen with 31.3 percent efficiency. “Our new record shows that hydrogen can be produced very efficiently directly from sunlight,” Frank Dimroth, PhD, told Interesting Engineering.
  
  The prototype relies on III-V solar cells, the most efficient solar cells produced anywhere. “These cells have long been used in spacecraft because of their high performance and durability,” reports Interesting Engineering.
  
  Green hydrogen has long been hailed as a critical clean alternative for hard-to-abate industrial sectors like steelmaking and shipping. Like the emissions-intensive thermal coal and heavy fuel oil that power those industries, respectively, hydrogen burns at a high heat. But instead of leaving behind carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and pollutants, hydrogen leaves behind nothing but water vapor when combusted.
  
  There’s just one major issue – hydrogen is only as green as the energy used to produce it. The vast majority of the hydrogen used in the global economy is gray hydrogen, which is made using fossil fuels and therefore ineffective for reducing a given industry’s carbon footprint. Green hydrogen, made using renewable energies, has been touted as a kind of silver bullet for the clean energy transition for many years now, but, as usual, the reality is far more complicated.
  
  Once lofty global green hydrogen ambitions have seriously fizzled in recent years. A 2025 study on “The green hydrogen ambition and implementation gap” found that, in 2023, less than a tenth of planned green hydrogen was actualized. “Tracking 190 projects over 3 years, we identify a wide 2023 implementation gap with only 7% of global capacity announcements finished on schedule,” reads the paper, published in the scientific journal Nature Energy.
  
  In many – if not most – applications, renewable energy resources are more useful consumed directly than used to make hydrogen. A 2022 report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) warned against the “indiscriminate use of hydrogen,” cautioning that the extensive use of hydrogen “may not be in line with the requirements of a decarbonised world,” as it “requires dedicated renewable energy that could be used for other end uses.” In other words, just because we can use green energy for hydrogen without losing money, we are still losing efficiency, and those clean energy resources may be better used elsewhere. Put very simply, green hydrogen is costly and inefficient to produce.
  
  For this reason, the breakthrough at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) could be majorly disruptive. Instead of producing electricity with photovoltaic solar panels, and then using that energy to make hydrogen, the new prototype directly converts sunlight into hydrogen, skipping the middle step. As sunshine is an infinite resource, this new approach could be a gamechanger, decarbonizing heavy industry without taking clean energy away from any other sector.
  
  However, the model still has a long way to go before it could potentially hit the market and change everything. “Development is still in its early stages, and it’s hard to say how quickly we’ll be able to achieve competitive systems,” Dimroth said in a press release related to the study. “To further develop the concept, we are seeking investors for our planned spin-off, Clearsun Energy,” Dimroth concluded.
  
  Luckily, timing has rarely been better to secure funding in green hydrogen research. After years of flagging interest in the technology and a startup bubble that had all but burst, the current global energy crisis emanating out of the Strait of Hormuz has revitalized investor interest in green hydrogen.

  MABUX: Global bunker market to shift into a slight downward correction on Jul. 02.
  The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO — continued changing sideways on Jul. 01: 380 HSFO: USD/MT: 550.68 (+0.64) VLSFO: USD/MT 550.68 (+0.64) MGO: USD/MT 1 085.61 (+10.40) As... Read more The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO — continued changing sideways on Jul. 01:
  
  380 HSFO: USD/MT: 550.68 (+0.64)
  VLSFO: USD/MT 550.68 (+0.64)
  MGO: USD/MT 1 085.61 (+10.40)
  
  As of Jul. 01, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which monitors the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP) — showed the following developments across the four major global bunkering hubs: Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston remained undervalued. The discounts widened by $2 in Rotterdam but narrowed by $2 in Singapore and $5 in Houston. Fujairah remained the only overvalued port, with its premium declining by a further $55, moving closer to parity between MBP and DBP. Singapore's MDI continued to remain above the $100 threshold.
  
  • VLSFO segment: Rotterdam, Singapore and Fujairah continued to be overvalued. Premiums decreased by $1, $23, and $2, respectively. Houston remained the only undervalued port, although its discount narrowed by $2. Fujairah's MDI remained above the $100 threshold.
  
  • MGO LS segment: Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston stayed undervalued. Discounts narrowed by $1 in Rotterdam and $44 in Houston but widened by $20 in Singapore. Fujairah remained overvalued, with its premium decreasing by $54. MDI values in all four ports continued to exceed the $100 threshold.
  
  MABUX expects the global bunker market to enter a mild downward correction on Jul. 02: minus 2-5 USD/MT, VLSFO: minus 3–6 USD/MT, MGO LS: minus 1–5 USD/MT.
