  LNG market to stay “very tight for at least a month,” strategist says

Read more Energy markets have rallied sharply since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks against Iran, driven largely by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route that handles roughly 20% of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) flows.
  Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF) futures, Europe’s benchmark gas contract, surged nearly 70% this week, currently trading around 53.25 euros per megawatt-hour, while Asia’s JKM benchmark soared 45%.

  Supply risks intensified after Qatar — one of the world’s largest LNG exporters — halted production on Monday following Iranian drone strikes targeting Ras Laffan Industrial City and Mesaieed Industrial City. Analysts at Goldman Sachs estimated the production pause would cut near-term global LNG supply by about 19%.
  Soon after, a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard official announced that Iran had closed the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels, warning that ships attempting to pass through the waterway would face attack.
  "Ships have already started to avoid the Strait since this weekend’s attacks and physical reduction in LNG flows will start to show on balances in the coming weeks," Florence Schmit, senior energy strategist at Rabobank, told Investing.com.
  "Ramping up production from its fields takes up to two weeks and in addition to energy flows not being able to pass, this means the LNG market will be very tight for at least a month (if not longer given the current state of attacks)," she added.
  
  Europe and much of Asia are significantly more exposed to potential gas price shocks than the United States, which benefits from large domestic shale gas output as well as LNG production capacity.
  When asked whether a disruption to LNG flows could spark another Asia–Europe scramble for cargoes, Schmit said this could happen "very easily, similar to 2022. This is already reflected in JKM-TTF spreads, which have flipped to a JKM premium over TTF since this weekend.”
  "Asia relies heavily on Qatari LNG and a reduction of flows forces key buyers such as South Korea, Japan and China to look for alternatives. The U.S. is the only viable option here with a lot of spot supply, but it’s also a key supplier to Europe. Given the limited amount of LNG in the market, that means competition for U.S. cargoes will be fierce between Europe and Asia," the strategist continued.
  Schmit stressed that Europe is “very exposed to Middle East energy supply disruptions,” highlighting that LNG now accounts for about 40% of the region’s gas demand, meaning any tightening in global supply can directly impact domestic prices.
  Goldman Sachs warned that a prolonged disruption could send prices much higher. In a note released Monday, the bank said a one-month halt in flows through Hormuz could push TTF and JKM prices toward 74 euros ($85.80) per megawatt-hour — a level that “triggered large natural gas demand responses” during the 2022 European energy crisis.
  
  In a separate note, Goldman raised its April forecast for TTF prices to 55 euros ($63.75) per MWh from 36 euros ($41.73) previously. The bank also lifted its average forecast for the second quarter to 45 euros ($52.16) per MWh. Source: Investing.com

  US crude jumps 10%, closing in on Brent’s price as buyers seek barrels
  U.S. crude oil futures climbed more than 10% on Friday, pulling closer to Brent as buyers sought available barrels, with Middle Eastern supply constrained by the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz amid the expanding U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.... Read more U.S. crude oil futures climbed more than 10% on Friday, pulling closer to Brent as buyers sought available barrels, with Middle Eastern supply constrained by the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz amid the expanding U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.
  Brent crude futures were up $5.42, or 6.35%, at $90.83 a barrel at 10:37 a.m. CST (1637 GMT). West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) was up $7.81, or 9.81%, at $88.96.
  It was the second straight day that gains in U.S. crude futures had outpaced those in the Brent contract.
  "Refiners and trading houses are searching for alternative barrels, and the U.S. is the largest producer," said Giovanni Staunovo an analyst with UBS. "To prevent inventories in the U.S. being reduced too quickly via too high exports, the spread is moving back to the transportation costs."
  Crude oil was set on Friday for its strongest weekly gain since the extreme volatility of the COVID‑19 pandemic in spring 2020, as conflict in the Middle East kept shipping and energy exports through the vital Strait of Hormuz halted.
  CRUDE OVER $100 A BARREL?
  Qatar’s energy minister told the Financial Times he expects all Gulf energy producers to shut down exports within weeks, a move he said could drive oil to $150 a barrel, according to an interview published on Friday.
  "The worst case scenario is developing before our eyes," John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital said. "I think the forecasts of $100 a barrel all are to come to true."
  
  Oil started its steep rally after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran last Saturday, prompting Tehran to stop tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz.
  Oil supply equal to about 20% of world demand usually passes through this waterway each day. With the Strait now effectively closed for seven days, that means about 140 million barrels of oil - equal to about 1.4 days of global demand - has been unable to reach the market.
  The conflict has spread across the Middle East’s key energy-producing areas, disrupting output and forcing shutdowns of refineries and liquefied natural gas plants.
  "Every day the Strait stays closed, prices will go higher," said Staunovo. "The belief in the market was that Trump might pull back at some point because he doesn’t want to have high oil prices, but the longer that takes, the clearer it is how much is at risk."
  U.S. President Donald Trump told Reuters in an exclusive interview on Thursday that he was not concerned about rising U.S. gasoline prices linked to the conflict, saying "if they rise, they rise" and that the U.S. military operation was his priority.
  A White House official said the U.S. Treasury Department is expected to announce measures to combat rising energy prices from the conflict, a prospect that briefly pushed prices down by more than 1% earlier on Friday.
  Losses narrowed after Bloomberg News reported that the Trump administration had ruled out using the Treasury Department to trade oil futures for now.
  
  The Treasury on Thursday granted waivers for companies to buy sanctioned Russian oil stored on tankers to ease supply constraints that have forced refineries in Asia to cut fuel processing.
  The first waivers went to Indian refiners, who have since bought millions of barrels of Russian crude, reversing months of pressure on them to halt the purchases.
  Ship-tracking firm Kpler estimates about 30 million barrels of Russian oil are available and loaded on vessels in the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea region and Singapore Strait, including volumes in floating storage.
