  Oil prices pare some gains after Trump says U.S. open to ’concept’ of Iran deal
  Oil prices on Monday pared some gains after President Donald Trump said Iran wanted to make a deal and that Washington was "open" to such a "concept." Crude benchmarks had surged earlier after more Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, as well as postponed... Read more Oil prices on Monday pared some gains after President Donald Trump said Iran wanted to make a deal and that Washington was "open" to such a "concept."
  
  Crude benchmarks had surged earlier after more Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, as well as postponed talks between Gulf countries and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, drove worries over prolonged Middle East shipping disruptions.
  
  At 11:37 ET (15:37 GMT), Brent crude futures expiring in November were up 2.6% to $107.35 a barrel, after earlier hitting a session high at $109.74. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures expiring in October added 2.4% to $102.53 a barrel, having hit a session high at $104.91.

  "The failing Nation of Iran wants to make a deal, quickly and badly. I will determine whether or not the U.S.A. will choose to engage - The concept of which we are open to," Trump said on his Truth Social service.
  
  The comments come after the Associated Press reported on Monday that Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen had seized control of more strategic islands located in the southern Red Sea.
  
  Citing Yemeni government and Houthi officials, the AP said the Houthis had deployed fighters on the islands of Greater Hanish and Lesser Hanish, which are located roughly 160 kilometers north of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
  
  A critical shipping corridor linking the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden, the Bab el-Mandeb has emerged a fresh flashpoint in a widening Middle East conflict that could further disrupt key global oil flows. About 12% of worldwide trade traverses the strait, Al Jazeera reported.
  
  Last week, the Houthis took control over sections of Yemen’s Red Sea coast, bolstering their hold over the Bab el-Mandeb. The conflict has also spilled beyond Yemen, with Houthis launching drone attacks at locations in southern Saudi Arabia, a major oil producer.
  
  The strikes led to the closure over the weekend of the key Saudi east-west pipeline which runs to the Red Sea, further threatening oil supplies. Should exports not restart in the pipeline within days, up to 4% of global oil supply will be lost, Saudi oil buyers and traders cited by Reuters warned.
  
  The Houthis have also claimed to have carried out a "large-scale military operation" on Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid Air Base, Al Jazeera reported.
  
  “Riyadh has now lost the option to use western exports if the Strait of Hormuz deteriorates again. This is likely to put further upward pressure on oil prices this week,” ANZ analysts said in a note.
  
  Hormuz talks delayed
  Meanwhile, Oman’s foreign minister said on Sunday that a regional meeting between Iran and Gulf powers, initially scheduled for Monday, had now been postponed. News of the meeting had tempered oil’s gains last week, as markets hoped that renewed diplomacy could limit supply disruptions in the region.
  
  A spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry also said the gathering of Gulf officials in Muscat was delayed at the request of Saudi Arabia, but stressed that Tehran is playing no role "whatsoever" in the crisis in Yemen, Al Jazeera reported.

  Meanwhile, tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains constricted. Oil supplies through the channel have slowed to a fraction of levels prior to the start of a joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran in late February. Before the war, roughly a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas flowed through the strait.
  
  "The delay pushes any prospect of de‑escalation even further out of reach," analysts at ING said in a note to clients. Source: Investing.com

  New attacks in Hormuz and Saudi test nerves as war’s spread worsens oil disruption
  New strikes on Saudi Arabia and on ships in the Gulf tested nerves in the Middle East on Sunday, after an attack on a Saudi oil pipeline and an advance by Yemen’s Houthis threatened to worsen the wartime disruption to global energy supplies. Oil traders... Read more New strikes on Saudi Arabia and on ships in the Gulf tested nerves in the Middle East on Sunday, after an attack on a Saudi oil pipeline and an advance by Yemen’s Houthis threatened to worsen the wartime disruption to global energy supplies.
  
  Oil traders were expecting prices to rise again when markets reopen on Monday, following the weekend developments that jeopardise supplies from the world’s biggest exporter, Saudi Arabia.
  
  The British maritime security agency ‌UKMTO said on Sunday that a vessel had been struck by a projectile as it moved through the Strait of Hormuz, causing a fire and forcing the crew to be evacuated. Iran, for its part, said one person was killed and four crew wounded aboard an Iranian commercial vessel struck off its coast.
  
  In Saudi Arabia, state media released video of damage to homes and a mosque from the purported latest cross-border attack by the Houthis, in Jazan province in the south. The Houthis claimed separately to have struck a Saudi military base in a neighbouring province.
  
  Southern Saudi cities have experienced regular alerts since last week, culminating in drone strikes on Friday that knocked out the 1,200-km (745-mile) east-west pipeline across the Arabian Peninsula that has served as the main route for global supplies of Middle East oil bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  That same day, the Houthis captured Perim Island, which lies in the middle of the Bab El-Mandeb, the "Gate of Tears" strait that controls the mouth of the Red Sea.
  
  U.S. DIESEL HITS ANOTHER RECORD
  
  Oil prices surged above $100 last week for the first time since July. The politically sensitive retail price of diesel fuel in the United States rose on Sunday to another all-time high above $6.20 a gallon.
  
  Traders and Saudi oil buyers told Reuters on Sunday that Riyadh has enough oil stored at its Red Sea port of Yanbu to maintain exports for just five to seven days if the pipeline struck on Friday remains shut.
  
  After that, as much as 4% of global oil supply could be jeopardised, on top of the millions of barrels a day already lost to the disruption to traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Saudi Arabia has not given full details of the extent of damage to the pipeline or said how long it will remain offline. Sources that spoke to Reuters have given conflicting estimates for the time needed to fix it, ranging from days to weeks. Satellite images have shown huge columns of smoke from locations along the pipeline.
  
  TALKS IN OMAN POSTPONED
  
  After a quiet August when flows of Middle East oil trickled back up, the past two weeks have seen a steady escalation in the war that the United States and Israel launched six months ago. No peace talks have been held since an interim agreement in June collapsed after a few weeks.
  
  In a rare diplomatic initiative, Iranian officials had said they would attend a meeting on Monday with Gulf Arab states in Oman to present an agreement they say has been reached with Oman governing future shipping routes through the strait.

  But Oman’s foreign minister, Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, posted late Sunday that the regional meeting had been postponed "in the interests of consensus."
  
  "We remain committed to fostering dialogue that supports stability and lasting cooperation in our region," he wrote in a post on X.
  
  Iran’s Fars news agency cited an Iranian foreign ministry official on Sunday evening as saying that the Oman meeting was postponed at the request of some regional countries in a decision jointly made by Tehran and Muscat. The official said Iran would coordinate with Oman to determine a suitable date for holding the meeting, the agency said.
  
  Iraq had said it would send a delegation, and a Gulf official had told Reuters that Saudi Arabia and Qatar would be represented by their foreign ministers.
  
  A senior Iranian official had told Reuters on Saturday that officials would discuss Hormuz and other issues at the meeting, but added it would probably not yield a signed agreement to reopen the strait. Bahrain said it would not meet with any Iranians.
  
  In an interview with London-based pan-Arab news outlet Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said despite any agreement with Oman, Iran would not reopen the strait until the United States satisfies Tehran’s demands.
  
  HOUTHI ADVANCES POSE NEW DILEMMA FOR WASHINGTON
  
  The U.S. has so far failed to achieve the objectives President Donald Trump set out when he launched "Operation Epic Fury" in February: to end Iran’s nuclear programme, prevent it from being able to attack its neighbours and create conditions for its people to topple their rulers.
  
  Iran, having withstood the superpower onslaught despite military and economic losses, hopes to emerge stronger than before the war, including with the newfound power to collect fees from ships that use the strait.
  
  The attacks on Saudi Arabia and the Houthi advances in Yemen pose a new dilemma for Washington, which wants to support its Saudi allies and protect shipping but is wary of joining war on another front. The Houthi attacks have also left Gulf states with a difficult choice: accept growing economic pain or engage with Iran.
  
  The Houthis, mountain fighters who captured Yemen’s capital in 2014, have been battling a Saudi-led coalition for more than a decade but had mostly kept out of the wider Middle East war until recent weeks. Their advance along the Red Sea coast is part of the biggest eruption of fighting in Yemen for years.
  
  The United States bombed the Houthis for two months in 2025, but Trump halted that campaign after announcing the group had lifted a threat to attack Red Sea shipping.
  
  Three sources told Reuters that Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, phoned Trump on Thursday asking for military aid to fight the Houthis, but was offered only intelligence support for now.
  
  Trump acknowledged on Saturday that he had spoken to the crown prince, and said the Houthis had also phoned the U.S. administration, asking Washington to keep out of the Yemen war.

  Oil Prices Surge as Middle East Attacks Continue and Diplomacy Stumbles

At... Read more Oil prices initially jumped by over 3% in early Asian trade on Monday as fears of a major and extended supply disruption were stoked by continued attacks in the Middle East and the postponement of a crunch meeting between Gulf states and Iran.
  
  At the time of writing, both benchmarks had fallen back slightly, with WTI futures trading at $102.2 per barrel, 2.16% higher on the day, and Brent futures up 2.14% at $106.8 per barrel.
  
  Over the weekend, the Houthis claimed to have launched a large-scale missile and drone attack against Saudi Arabia, saying they had struck a military base in Sharurah. Saudi state media did not confirm that attack, but separately reported that a projectile fell in the Jazan region. The attack appears to be the latest escalation in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iranian proxies, following a drone attack on the East-West Pipeline that was launched from Iraq last week.
  
  At the same time, the UKMTO released an alert saying a vessel within the Strait of Hormuz had been struck by an unknown projectile. The AP later reported that an Iranian cargo vessel had been struck early on Sunday off Qeshm Island, although it is unclear if this is the same attack.
  
  Adding to the bullish sentiment in oil markets, Oman’s Foreign Minister, Badr Albusaidi, then announced that a Monday meeting between Gulf states and Iran had been postponed due to a lack of consensus. The meeting had been scheduled to discuss a potential deal between Iran and Oman over the temporary management of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. It would have been the first time that top diplomats from the GCC had sat down as a group with their Iranian counterparts since the war began.
  
  Even before the latest escalations, last week’s attacks on Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline had already put oil markets on edge, with the Kingdom having to close one of the region's most important crude export routes. Traders are now concerned that up to 4% of global oil supply could be lost if that pipeline isn’t reopened within days. The scale of the damage remains unclear, with reports that multiple pumping stations were hit by drones launched from Iraq.
  
  It isn’t just the East-West Pipeline that is threatening Saudi oil supply beyond the Strait of Hormuz, with the Houthis gaining territory within Yemen last week and increasing their control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Critically, the group reached the strategically significant island of Perim last week, which would allow them to monitor and potentially mine the Red Sea waterway.
  
  With diplomacy stumbling, attacks continuing, and plenty of uncertainty around just how much supply will be leaving the region in the coming weeks, things are looking increasingly bullish for oil markets. If Saudi Arabia is able to quickly restore throughput through the East-West Pipeline and the meeting between Gulf states and Iran is rescheduled, some pressure may be eased, but until traders get some visibility on that, prices are likely to climb.

  MABUX: Global bunker indices to extend gains on Sep. 14 amid renewed escalation in Hormuz.
  The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO – ended the week on a firm upward trajectory on Sep. 11, posting gains for the fifth consecutive session: 380 HSFO: USD/MT: 693.15 (+20.36) VLSFO:... Read more The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO – ended the week on a firm upward trajectory on Sep. 11, posting gains for the fifth consecutive session:
  
  380 HSFO: USD/MT: 693.15 (+20.36)
  VLSFO: USD/MT: 849.74 (+19.79)
  MGO: USD/MT: 1 503.57 (+39.86)
  
  As of Sep. 11, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which tracks the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP), indicated the following trends across the four major global bunkering hubs—Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: All four ports remained underpriced. MDI discounts widened by $15 in Rotterdam, $11 in Singapore, $25 in Fujairah, and $5 in Houston. The underpricing levels in Rotterdam and Houston stayed above the $100 mark.
  
  • VLSFO segment: Fujairah remained the only overpriced port, although its premium narrowed by another $11. The other three hubs stayed underpriced, with MDI discounts widening by $20 in Rotterdam, $25 in Singapore, and $3 in Houston. Rotterdam's underpricing remained above the $100 threshold, while Houston moved closer to this level.
  
  • MGO LS segment: All four ports remained in the underpriced zone. MDI discounts declined by $53 in Rotterdam, $73 in Singapore, $38 in Fujairah, and $1 in Houston. Despite the contraction, underpricing remained well above the $100 mark across all four hubs.
  
  MABUX expects global bunker indices to maintain their upward momentum on Sep. 14, supported by renewed escalation in and around the Strait of Hormuz and a corresponding rise in geopolitical and supply-risk premiums:
  380 HSFO: plus 5-15 USD/MT, VLSFO: plus 5-20 USD/MT, MGO LS: plus 10–35 USD/MT.
