  Brent crude jumps 4% as US strikes in Iran fuel Hormuz shipping fears

Iran has effectively... Read more Brent crude futures climbed about 4% on Tuesday after the U.S. military carried out strikes in Iran, adding to uncertainty over whether a deal would be reached soon to end the war and open up shipping flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
  Iran has effectively halted nearly all non-Iranian shipping into and out of the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz since the war began in late February, choking off about a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) flows.
  Global benchmark Brent rose $3.78, or 3.9%, to $99.92 a barrel at 10:50 a.m. ET (1450 GMT), while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell $2.88, or 3.0%, to $93.72.
  On Monday, Brent closed at its lowest since April 20 on expectations the U.S. and Iran would soon reach a deal. Those peace hopes were reflected in WTI prices on Tuesday since WTI did not settle on Monday due to the U.S. Memorial Day holiday. WTI was on track to close at its lowest since April 22 on Tuesday.
  Iran said the United States had violated the ceasefire after the U.S. conducted what it called defensive strikes in southern Iran, while U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that negotiating a deal to halt the conflict could "take a few days".
  Iran’s foreign ministry said U.S. strikes in the southern Hormozgan province, where Iranian media reported sounds of explosions early on Tuesday, represented a "gross violation" of a tenuous ceasefire in place for nearly seven weeks.
  
  Both sides had indicated progress on a memorandum of understanding that could halt the war and restart shipping through the blockaded Strait of Hormuz, while giving negotiators 60 days to negotiate more complex issues including Iran’s nuclear program.
  "We are still waiting for more details on a potential deal," said Giovanni Staunovo at UBS. "Meanwhile we see renewed tensions in the Middle East, while flows through the Strait remain restricted."
  IRAN OFFICIALS IN DOHA FOR TALKS
  The U.S. strikes happened as Iran’s top negotiator and its foreign minister were in Doha for talks with Qatar’s prime minister on a potential deal with the U.S. to end the three-month-old war.
  "While differences between the parties have narrowed, any eventual peace deal would likely lead only to a gradual reopening, meaning the current tight supply outlook could take months to normalize," said Ole Hansen at Saxo Bank.
  TANKERS TRACKED PASSING THROUGH STRAIT
  Nikkei, citing a Middle East diplomatic source, reported that Iran would clear mines from the Strait within a 30‑day window under the potential agreement, after which vessels from all countries could navigate freely and safely, with Tehran also ending transit-fee collection.
  Ship-tracking data showed three LNG tankers passed through the Strait in recent days, heading to Pakistan, China and India, along with a supertanker carrying Iraqi crude to China that had been stranded for nearly three months.
  
  U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday repeated his demand that Iran hand over its enriched uranium so it could be destroyed.
  "It’s a sharp reminder that the deal could still collapse at the 11th hour, much like the five previous attempts before it," said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Brent rises nearly 2% as US military strikes Iranian boats, missile launch sites

Read more Brent crude futures rose nearly 2% in early Asian trade on Tuesday after the U.S. military carried out strikes in southern Iran in what it described as defensive actions, keeping markets on edge as a deal to end the war eludes both sides.
  Brent futures climbed $1.40, or 1.5%, to $97.56 a barrel as of 0006 GMT, after settling 7% lower in the previous session.
  U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fetched $91.25, up slightly from Monday’s last traded price but down $5.30, or 5.5% from Friday’s close. There was no settlement on Monday due to the U.S. Memorial Day holiday.
  The U.S. Central Command said it carried out strikes on targets in southern Iran including boats attempting to lay mines and ⁠missile launch sites, adding they were designed "to protect ‌our ⁠troops from threats posed by Iranian forces."
  Iranian media had reported on Monday that explosions were heard in Iran’s Bandar Abbas and nearby coastal areas along the Strait of Hormuz.
  Tehran has effectively halted nearly all non-Iranian shipping into and out of the Gulf since the war began, choking off about a fifth of global oil and gas flows and driving prices up by 50% or more.
  Iran’s top negotiator and its foreign minister were in Doha on Monday for talks with Qatar’s prime minister on a potential deal with the U.S. to end the three-month-old war.
  
  Both Washington and Tehran said they have made progress on a memorandum of understanding that would halt the war and give negotiators 60 days to reach a final deal.
  Earlier, Nikkei reported, citing a Middle East diplomatic source, that Iran would clear mines from the strait within a 30‑day window under the agreement, after which vessels from all countries could navigate freely and safely, with Tehran also ending transit fee collection.
  "Traders are betting heavily that a breakthrough will finally free up the long-paralyzed tankers stuck in and around the Strait of Hormuz," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.
  Ship-tracking data showed that three liquefied natural gas tankers passed through the strait in recent days, heading to Pakistan, China and India, along with a supertanker carrying Iraqi crude to China after being stranded for nearly three months.
  U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday repeated his demand that Iran hand over its enriched uranium to the U.S. for the purpose of destruction.

  Oil Could Stay Above $100 for Years, Analysts Warn

Read more Oil prices opened trade this week with a decline on reports that a deal between the U.S. and Iran was imminent. Brent crude slipped below $100 for the first time in days. But then President Trump said there was no rush on a deal and the U.S blockade in Hormuz would remain. While traders scratch their heads, analysts are warning that crude could remain well above $100 per barrel for years. This is literally uncharted territory for oil.
  
  Negotiations with Iran were “proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner,” the U.S. president told media over the weekend, fueling optimism that has actually been a feature of oil markets ever since the Iranian army closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to the U.S. and Israeli missile attacks on the country. Despite the supply crunch that the closure caused, traders remained remarkably certain that it would not last more than a few days, possibly a couple of weeks. Three months in, this optimism remains.
  
  Indeed, oil traders have been boosting their short positions on crude for no less than seven weeks in a row in anticipation of an end to the crisis that has removed some 14 million barrels from the world’s daily oil supply. According to John Kemp, bearish positions in Brent crude had gone up to 100 million barrels by May 19, from 40 million barrels at the end of March. Meanwhile, the blocked waterway remains almost unused
  
  Rapidly falling inventories, missing Middle Eastern exports, and rising summer demand could push global oil markets into dangerous territory by July or August, the head of the International Energy Agency warned earlier this month.
  
  “This may be difficult and we may be entering the red zone in July-August if we don't see some improvements,” Fatih Birol said. Unlike some earlier warnings that sounded more like a theoretical note, the inventory data increasingly suggest that Birol may actually have a point.
  
  The secretary-general of the IEA said oil stocks are being steadily eroded while “no new oil was coming from the Middle East” just as demand begins climbing into peak travel season. No oil from the Middle East is the bigger and more immediate part of the problem—but there is another one, and that part is the years of subdued investment in new oil supply on a global level.
  
  Investment in the oil and gas industry has been weak for about a decade, since the U.S. shale boom from the 2010, natural resource analysts and investors Leigh Goehring and Adam Rozencwajg wrote in their latest quarterly commentary. As a result, global production has been largely stalling in terms of growth pace everywhere except in the U.S. shale patch, where growth is slowing down as well. Now, with the Strait of Hormuz closed, the world is in an unprecedented situation of supply tightness.
  
  “The market has never before attempted to function for an extended period with such a large
  
  volume impaired simultaneously,” Goehring and Rozencwajg wrote, adding that “The industry appears to have entered another structurally tight phase following years of inadequate capital spending, just as the market confronts an acute physical bottleneck of historic proportions.”
  
  The experts suggested that if the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz extended further in time, $120 to $150 would become the new normal for Brent crude over the next few years—once market players realize the extent of the supply problem, presumably, because right now, this is being grossly underestimated.
  
  “At least 15 million barrels per day of supply appears to be directly curtailed. On volume alone, the disruption exceeds every previous oil crisis. Yet dated Brent — still the best measure of physical delivered crude — managed at its peak to exceed its 2008 high by only $4 per barrel,” Goehring and Rozencwajg pointed out, going on to add that “The market, in other words, has been presented with an energy dislocation larger than any previously recorded and has responded as though it were a difficult but ultimately temporary inconvenience.”
  
  The moment this perception is shattered by physical markets would likely be the moment when oil prices make up for lost time, as it were, soaring higher and staying there, unless, of course, that notorious deal that Trump is negotiating with Tehran actually materializes.
  
  Yet even with a deal and a reopened Hormuz, the global energy system is in danger of a breakdown due to the sheer scale of the supply crunch, which Goehring and Rozencwajg estimate at as much as 15 million barrels daily. Bringing back this amount of daily production online takes time. And if a deal does not materialize soon, traders may begin to lose their optimism as the effects of the crisis in the physical market become more pronounced.
  
  “Oil moves slowly through the global system,” Goehring and Rozencwajg wrote. “So does information. In both cases, the true condition of the market often reveals itself only after the underlying imbalance has become considerably more serious than first believed.” Source: Oilprice.com
