  Oil prices pare gains after Iran and Israel say they have halted attacks

Read more Oil prices pared gains that had lifted them more than 5% on Monday after Iran and Israel said they had halted attacks on each other following an appeal from U.S. President Donald Trump.
  
  Tehran however said it would resume strikes if Israel continued to hit Hezbollah in Lebanon.
  
  Brent crude futures were up $1.71, or 1.8%, at $94.85 a barrel as of 11:10 a.m. ET (1510 GMT), while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were up $1.53, or 1.7%, at $92.07.
  
  Brent has risen around 31% since the eve of the conflict just over 100 days ago, while WTI has risen around 37%. Brent in April touched a peak above $126 a barrel.
  
  Prices gained more than 5% earlier on Monday after renewed Israeli strikes on Iran and attacks on Lebanon had reduced hopes of an imminent end to the wider war.
  
  Israel hit a petrochemical plant in southwestern Iran that it said was used to produce ballistic missiles, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the country retaliated with a strike aimed at a similar Israeli facility in the city of Haifa.
  
  The exchange followed Israeli strikes on strongholds of Iran-backed Hezbollah in Beirut over the weekend. Tehran has repeatedly said any deal with Washington to end the conflict must include a halt to Israel’s campaign in Lebanon.
  
  "Crude futures are trading higher this morning in a nervous trade as Iran and Israel traded missile attacks over the weekend," said Dennis Kissler, senior vice president of trading at BOK Financial.
  
  Trump on Monday demanded that Israel and Iran "immediately stop ’shooting’".
  
  Because of the strikes, investors were concerned that flows through the Strait of Hormuz might remain restricted for longer, UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said.
  
  Roughly a fifth of the world’s daily supply of oil and liquefied natural gas passed through the Strait of Hormuz off Iran before U.S.-Israeli airstrikes at the end of February unleashed the latest escalation of the Middle Eastern conflict.
  
  On Monday, Iran’s ambassador to Moscow was quoted as saying that the Strait would be open but under conditions to be set by Iran and Oman, including a transit fee.
  
  "For markets, the best near-term outcome remains a ’skinny’ deal that decouples Strait disruption and active strikes from the underlying sources of disagreement, buying time without resolving them," said Erik Meyersson with SEB Research.
  
  Meanwhile, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday they would ban ships linked to Israel from the Red Sea after Israel renewed its military attacks on Iran, adding to concerns about global shipping and energy flows.
  
  OPEC+ AGREES OUTPUT TARGET INCREASE
  
  In the face of the supply crisis, OPEC+ on Sunday agreed its fourth oil output target increase in four months.
  
  Analysts said the decision would have little impact since most members of OPEC+, which groups the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia, cannot meet their targets.
  
  That, they said, was because of the closure of the Strait or, in the case of Russia, Ukrainian drone attacks that have eroded its production capacity.
  
  "In the current market, the physical impact of such a decision would be close to zero," Jorge Leon, Rystad Energy’s head of geopolitical analysis, said in a note to clients.

  Oil prices climb more than $3 after Israeli strikes on Lebanon

Read more Brent oil prices jumped more than $3 a barrel on Monday, initially spooked by Israel’s launch of renewed strikes on Lebanon a day earlier, but also gaining further steam after sounds of explosions were heard in Iran.
  
  Sounds of blasts were heard - in Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan, local media reported early on Monday, eroding hopes for an imminent end to the wider war and a restart to crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Brent crude futures rose $3.20 or 3.39% to $96.24 a barrel while U.S. crude futures were up $2.87 or 3.17% at $93.41 per barrel as of 0333 GMT.
  
  Those gains erased Friday’s losses, when prices fell on hopes of a de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict, which has seen oil prices rise over 50% since March.
  
  Though Iran on Sunday fired a salvo of missiles at Israeli targets in retaliation, U.S. President Donald Trump insisted that an agreement to end the wider war remains well within reach.
  
  Trump also reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from further attacks.
  
  "It’s not going to have any impact on the deal," Trump told the Financial Times. "I call the shots. I call all the shots. He doesn’t call the shots."
  
  Iran has made a ceasefire with Lebanon a condition for a peace deal with Washington.
  
  Israel invaded Lebanon in March after Iran-backed Hezbollah fired rockets and drones across the border. Lebanon and Israel said on June 3 that they had agreed to a ceasefire following negotiations in Washington.
  
  The two countries had previously agreed to a cessation of hostilities in April but violence continued.
  
  The wider war has been stalemated since the U.S. and Israel paused their attacks on Iran in early April, with Tehran blocking most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the main transit route for one-fifth of the world’s oil. Washington has imposed its own blockade of Iranian ports.
  
  Amid the resulting supply crisis, OPEC+ on Sunday agreed its fourth increase in oil output in four months. But analysts said the decision would have little impact since most OPEC+ members could not meet their output targets because of the Hormuz closure or, in the case of Russia, infrastructure attacks that have eroded its production capacity.

  Post-War Oil Trade Could Look Nothing Like It Did Before Hormuz
  Persian Gulf oil exporters are scrambling to reroute their crude from ports to pipelines to keep the world running and keep their oil money flowing and fueling their economies. Sanction waivers abound. Venezuela’s oil output has shot up to 1.25 million... Read more Persian Gulf oil exporters are scrambling to reroute their crude from ports to pipelines to keep the world running and keep their oil money flowing and fueling their economies. Sanction waivers abound. Venezuela’s oil output has shot up to 1.25 million barrels daily. The world of energy after the end of the war in the Middle East will be a very different one from what we’ve become accustomed to over the last five years.
  
  When the United States and Israel first fired on Iran, the overwhelming assumption was that first, Iran would never close the Strait of Hormuz, and two, after the closure became a fact, that it would only last for a few days, maybe a couple of weeks tops. Then, when it became abundantly clear that there is no expiry date on the Strait closure, oil exporters finally started making contingency plans.
  
  News about pipeline plans in the Persian Gulf includes the UAE, which eyes an operational pipeline to the port of Fujairah by next year, demonstrating just how urgent the alternative route is to one of the largest oil exporters in the Middle East. The UAE’s exit from OPEC highlighted the urgency as well, even though it was seen as a pivot to more energy policy independence. It was, but it can also be interpreted as a move to make sure the oil flows.
  
  For years, the UAE has been working to boost its crude oil production capacity to 5 million barrels per day by 2027. To that end, the UAE had consistently demanded that it should be allowed in the OPEC and OPEC+ production deals to use more of its growing spare capacity—and it has indeed been allowed to do so. The country, alongside Saudi Arabia, is one of the few in the region—and the world—that held spare production capacity before the Middle East war began.
  
  Saudi Arabia itself is a case in point: the kingdom has been using its East-West pipeline to bypass the Hormuz blockade, becoming an example of actual contingency planning and oil flow diversification in case of trouble in the neighborhood. Now, even Iraq is talking about boosting its pipeline capacity up to threefold—and doing it within three months.
  
  Crude oil production from Iraq’s southern fields has plunged by 70% since the start of the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran, with the average production at 1.3 million barrels per day, compared with 4.3 million bpd before the war began. This makes OPEC’s number-two perhaps the most severely affected oil producer in the Gulf, because it is almost entirely reliant on the Strait of Hormuz for its exports.
  
  “The legacy of the crisis will result in the construction of infrastructure to bypass the Strait of Hormuz,” Hamad Hussain, commodities economist at Capital Economics, told the Wall Street Journal. “The genie is out of the bottle given that the longstanding threat of Iran effectively closing the strait has now materialized.”
  
  Many observers seem to believe that even when the war ends, one way or another, the oil landscape will change for good, with exporters investing in what the Wall Street Journal described as “an export network with multiple exits”—a real-life demonstration of the principle of distributing eggs to multiple baskets. As summed up by ADNOC’s head and the UAE’s energy minister, Sultan al-Jaber, “Energy security is no longer just about your ability to continue to produce. “It is about routes, access, storage and redundancy.”
  
  Meanwhile, as warnings about a severe oil supply crunch multiply and get louder, some see relief on the horizon. Kpler, specifically, recently described a scenario in which Venezuelan, Iranian, and Russian oil all return to the market in greater volumes—which is already happening.
  
  Venezuela, Kpler reported, is already producing and exporting 1.25 million barrels daily after the United States toppled the Maduro government and lifted sanctions so American companies could return to the country. This could rise to 1.5 million barrels daily by the end of the year, with Kpler analyst Naveen Das noting that since Venezuela is producing extra-heavy, high-sulfur crude, its recovering production would be in direct competition with Iranian and Russian heavy sour barrels, pressuring prices.
  
  A forecast about weaker prices in less than a year has become an exception rather than the rule it was at the start of this year, before the war began, but it is a possibility. While there is no sign of any reconsideration of EU sanctions on Russian energy, the U.S. has issued waivers on crude and has extended these more than once, and this, per Kpler’s Das, “eliminated the psychological and compliance barriers for Asian buyers.”
  
  As for Iran, the Kpler analysts see the chances of a peace deal rise in sync with the pressure on the U.S. economy resulting from the crisis-fueled energy price inflation. Essentially, the argument appears to be that the U.S. administration would have to do something to reverse the price trends, and that something will very likely involve sanction relief on Iranian crude. Again, it is worth noting this is still a distant prospect as President Trump appears intent on staying the current course. Source: Oilprice.com

  MABUX: Global bunker indices to shift into upward territory on June 08, supported by renewed geopolitical tensions in the Strait
  The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO — shifted into a downward trend on Jun. 05: 380 HSFO: USD/MT: 711.38 (-14.38) VLSFO: USD/MT 869.42 (-10.16) MGO: USD/MT 1 315.49 (-10.20) Among... Read more The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO — shifted into a downward trend on Jun. 05:
  
  380 HSFO: USD/MT: 711.38 (-14.38)
  VLSFO: USD/MT 869.42 (-10.16)
  MGO: USD/MT 1 315.49 (-10.20)
  
  Among the major global bunker hubs, Singapore remains the most balanced market, supported by steady demand fundamentals and sufficient supply availability. Zhoushan continues to trade at a moderate discount to Singapore, although supply conditions remain relatively tight. Fujairah remains the key outlier, where persistent supply constraints continue to support elevated bunker prices, keeping the port largely disconnected from broader market trends. Unless supply availability improves significantly, Fujairah is likely to retain its position as the world's most expensive bunker hub.
  
  As of Jun. 05, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which tracks the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP) — registered the following trends across the four major global bunkering hubs: Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston remained undervalued, with underpricing widening by $7, $1, and $2, respectively. Fujairah continued to be the only overvalued port in the HSFO segment, with its premium increasing by a further $5.
  
  • VLSFO segment: Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston also remained undervalued relative to the MABUX Digital Benchmark. The discount widened by $3 in Rotterdam and by $14 in Houston, while narrowing by $4 in Singapore. Fujairah remained the sole overvalued hub, with its premium surging by an additional $95 and remaining firmly above the $100 threshold.
  
  • MGO LS segment: Fujairah continued to be the only overvalued location, with its premium increasing by $66. In contrast, Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston remained undervalued, although the degree of underpricing narrowed by $24, $26, and $13, respectively. MDI values in both Rotterdam and Fujairah continued to exceed the $100 mark, highlighting significant deviations from the digital benchmark.
  
  The persistent overvaluation in Fujairah across all fuel grades reflects ongoing supply-side pressures, while the continued undervaluation in Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston suggests comparatively softer pricing conditions relative to the benchmark
  
  MABUX expects Global bunker to move higher on June 08 amid renewed escalation in the Strait of Hormuz: plus 5-10 USD/MT, VLSFO: plus 5–10 USD/MT, MGO LS: plus 5–15 USD/MT. The anticipated gains reflect heightened market risk premiums following the latest escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, which has reinforced concerns over potential disruptions to regional crude and petroleum product exports.
