  Shippers seek clarity on Hormuz reopening after US-Iran ceasefire deal

The six‑week conflict... Read more Shippers said on Wednesday they needed more clarity on the terms of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire before resuming transit through the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran issued fresh warnings about any vessels attempting to sail through the waterway.
  The six‑week conflict had brought traffic through the strait - a chokepoint for about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments - close to a standstill, pushing global energy prices sharply higher.
  Iran said it would offer safe passage in coordination with its armed forces, though its coastguards warned on Wednesday that any ship attempting to sail without permissions would be "targeted and destroyed".
  MAJOR SHIPPING COMPANIES REMAIN CAUTIOUS
  The first vessel had transited the Strait with Iran’s permission following the ceasefire, its state TV said on Wednesday.
  The ship’s identity was not immediately clear, but MarineTraffic data showed two Greek-owned and one Chinese-owned bulk carriers passing through since early Wednesday.
  Iran has previously agreed safe‑passage arrangements with several countries, including India and Iraq.
  Major shipping companies remained cautious.
  Denmark’s Maersk said the ceasefire may create transit opportunities for vessels but did not yet provide full maritime certainty.
  German container carrier Hapag‑Lloyd said it needed to see that the ceasefire holds before starting to take orders for selected markets.
  INTEREST PICKS UP AMONG ASIAN REFINERS
  
  Restoring flows to normal could take at least six to eight weeks, its CEO Rolf Habben Jansen told a call with customers.
  Lars Barstad, CEO of oil tanker group Frontline, said the firm was still assessing what the ceasefire meant for shipping. "I want to see the fine print," he told Reuters.
  Bimco Chief Safety and Security Officer Jakob Larsen warned that vessels leaving the Gulf without prior coordination with U.S. and Iranian authorities would face heightened risk.
  Some 187 laden tankers carrying 172 million barrels of crude oil and refined products were inside the Gulf as of Tuesday, according to ship tracker Kpler.
  Shipping sources said interest in loading Gulf cargoes had picked up among Asian refiners, as well as trader Glencore and French oil major TotalEnergies, both of which declined to comment.
  Asian economies are the main buyers of oil shipped through the strait and have been hit especially hard by the disruption.
  "We expect tankers and oil flowing to Iranian‑friendly countries to be the first ones to transit," said Anoop Singh, global head of shipping research at Oil Brokerage, adding more than 50 VLCCs and about 15 Suezmaxes could soon exit the Gulf.
  Britain said on Wednesday it would work with the shipping, insurance and energy sectors to try to restore confidence in use of the Strait of Hormuz. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  European natural gas prices dives as ceasefire agreement eases supply worries
  European natural gas prices slumped on Wednesday, with markets optimistic that supply issues resulting from the conflict in Iran could be resolved after a ceasefire was reached between U.S. and Iran.

Read more European natural gas prices slumped on Wednesday, with markets optimistic that supply issues resulting from the conflict in Iran could be resolved after a ceasefire was reached between U.S. and Iran.
  Track European natural gas prices with InvestingPro - now 50% off
  The benchmark Dutch front-month contract at the TTF hub plummeted by 17.3% at 44.03 euros per megawatt hour by 10:34 ET (2:34 GMT), according to ICE data. It was the biggest fall in more than a month.
  Many European countries use natural gas exported from producers in the Persian Gulf, particularly Qatar, although flows have been dented by Iranian attacks on energy infrastructure in the region in recent weeks. Market observers are expected to remain watchful of LNG carriers that might try to cross the strait. Earlier this week, two LNG carriers from QatarEnergy (QE) turned around after nearing the Strait of Hormuz, reversing what could have been the first LNG shipments through the waterway since February 28, according to Kpler ship-tracking data.
  Shipping firms said they would need further assurances of safety before ⁠sailing. "Any decision to transit the Strait of Hormuz will be based on continuous risk assessments, close monitoring of the security situation, and available guidance from relevant authorities and partners," said container shipper Maersk, according to a report from Reuters.
  On Tuesday, the U.S. and Iran reached a deal to temporary halt hostilities for two weeks. U.S. President Donald Trump had earlier threatened to eradicate Iranian "civilization" if the country did not open the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday.
  
  Trump said on social media that the truce followed conversations with leaders from Pakistan, which has served as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran. He added that the U.S. received a 10-point proposal from Iran which provides a workable basis for negotiations, and reiterated his claims that Washington had "already met and exceeded all Military objectives" and the "two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated."
  Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said Tehran would "cease their defensive operation" and would make "safe passage" through the Strait of Hormuz possible if shipping is done in coordination with the Iranian military. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif invited U.S. and Iranian officials to Islamabad for talks on Friday. Vance did not specify if he would be attending the negotiations, but said Trump is "impatient to make progress" in the discussions.
  Israel, who launched a joint assault on Iran with the U.S. in late February, backed Trump’s decision, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement. However, the comment did not include Lebanon, where Iran-aligned Hezbollah militants have been targeted by Israel.
  The agreement offers some space for both sides to hash out a long-term peace deal, halting a war which, beyond the military and humanitarian costs, many observers feared was on track to drive up inflationary pressures and weigh on the global economy.
  Still, media reports have said new military and drone strikes hit areas in the Persian Gulf on Wednesday morning. Source: Investing.com

  Trump said in a social media post that he had agreed to a two-week suspension of military action against Iran, just hours before a self-imposed 8:00 p.m. ET deadline.
  He said the U.S. had already achieved its core military objectives, adding that Iran had presented a multi-point proposal that could serve as the basis for a broader agreement.
  The deadline had been closely watched by markets, as it was expected to mark a major escalation in the conflict. In the hours leading up to it, oil prices had surged to multi-month highs amid fears that U.S. strikes could severely disrupt Middle East supply routes.
  Earlier, Trump had warned that Iran’s failure to comply could result in consequences where “a whole civilization could die."
  The ceasefire, described by Trump as a “double-sided pause,” is conditional on Iran ensuring the immediate and safe reopening of the Strait, a critical chokepoint that handles roughly a fifth of global oil shipments.
  
  The breakthrough came after last-minute diplomatic efforts, with Pakistan playing a key mediating role in urging both sides to step back from the brink of escalation.
  Trump noted that most major issues between the two sides had been addressed, with the two-week window intended to finalize a longer-term settlement.

  JPMorgan Flags Oil Shock as New Inflation Driver

Read more Jamie Dimon warns the Middle East war and energy shock could drive persistent inflation, higher interest rates, and potential recession risks, unlike the shorter 2022 spike.
  The global economy is more fragile today, with record sovereign debt and high deficits, increasing vulnerability to prolonged energy disruptions.
  Despite risks, the U.S. economy remains relatively resilient, while long-term focus is shifting toward energy security, supply chains, and strategic industries.
  Wall St
  The war in the Middle East that has caused an oil and gas shock will have far-reaching effects on the global economy, dragging inflation and interest rates higher, the chief executive of JP Morgan said in his annual letter to shareholders.
  
  The war continues with no end to hostilities in sight, after the U.S. president threatened Iran with “hell” if it did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz and Iran rejected a ceasefire plan presented to the two sides by Pakistan, insisting instead on a permanent peace deal. This kept oil prices high, suggesting the oil shock this time will be quite different from the 2022 shock, when prices spiked suddenly but relatively briefly, with markets calming when it became clear global supply would not be too severely affected by Western sanctions on Russia.
  
  This time, however, the economic context is much worse than it was four years ago. “Global deficits are significantly elevated, particularly during what has been a relatively healthy global economy and, until recently, a time of peace — the deficit globally is at an extremely high 5%, while global sovereign debt is at all-time highs,” Dimon wrote in his letter.
  
  Hungary Set to Agree to Buy U.S. Oil During JD Vance Visit
  
  Noting that consumer debt now was lower than it was in 2007, which was a positive development, as was corporate debt, at a healthy 45%, Dimon warned that “High and increasing government debt will eventually have to be dealt with — the right way would be to deal with it now before it becomes a problem; the wrong way would be to let it become a crisis, which, in my opinion, is probably the likely outcome.”
  
  In addition to problematic levels of sovereign debt, Dimon pointed out the increased risks of “stickier inflation” as a result of the energy flow disruption from the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran and “ultimately higher interest rates than markets currently expect.” This is not an economic context conducive to growth and indeed, JP Morgan’s CEO admitted that the present situation is fraught with challenges, citing deficit spending by the U.S. federal government and stimulus programs.
  
  Despite that, Dimon said, the U.S. economy was resilient, “with consumers still earning and spending (though with some recent weakening) and businesses still healthy. It is important to note that our economy has been fueled by large amounts of government deficit spending and past stimulus and that increased expenditure on infrastructure remains a growing need,” he also said.
  
  To address the biggest challenges, Dimon announced the launch of a Security and Resiliency Initiative, which will involve spending $1.5 trillion over ten years on industries that are critical to “national economic security and resiliency”. The areas of focus include critical minerals, advanced manufacturing, robotics, defense and aerospace to maintain the United States’ lead in military capabilities, according to Dimon, and energy independence. The latter is envisioned to be effected through “battery storage, grid resilience and distributed energy, helping build energy systems to meet the increased demand of technologies like AI and data centers.”
  
  The points that Dimon made in his annual letter suggest the head of JP Morgan is dedicated to an energy transition to “distributed energy” quite unlike the current federal government of the country, which has bet on baseload generation capacity instead, and energy dominance through maintaining high production rates in oil and gas.
  
  Dimon warned about the possibility of more oil and gas shocks from the war in the Middle East and the “reshaping of global supply chains” as a result of the hostilities. He also suggested a recession scenario is not impossible, citing similar economic and geopolitical conditions in 1974 and 1982. However, Dimon also noted some “tailwinds” this year, including fiscal stimulus from the One Big Beautiful Bill and the benefits of deregulation, which should cushion any blows from the foreign policy developments.
