  Oil up nearly 3% but set for first weekly decline since start of Iran war

Brent... Read more Oil prices rose on Friday but were set for their first weekly decline since February 9 as U.S. President Donald Trump extended a pause in attacks on Iran’s energy plants, though investors remain cagey about prospects for ceasefire in the month-old war.
  
  Brent crude futures rose by $3, or 2.78%, to $111.01 a barrel by 1118 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures were up $2.59, or 2.74%, at $97.07.
  
  The Brent benchmark has jumped 53% since February 27, the day before the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran, but was down 1.1% this week. WTI, up 45% since the war began, was down 1.3% over the week.
  
  "Despite talks of de-escalation, oil is trading on war longevity, not just headlines. Any direct damage to oil infrastructure or prolonged conflict could force markets to rapidly reprice higher," said Priyanka Sachdeva, analyst at Phillip Nova.
  
  While Trump extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of its energy infrastructure, the U.S. has also sent thousands of troops to the Middle East, with Trump weighing whether to use ground forces to seize Iran’s strategic oil hub of Kharg Island.
  
  An Iranian official told Reuters that a 15-point U.S. proposal, conveyed to Tehran by Pakistan, was "one-sided and unfair".
  
  "More talk of a deferral of US strikes on the Iranian grid seems to have been faded quickly with the market all too aware of the build up of US miliary power, Iranian intransigence, and the tendency towards a flurry of events over the weekend when markets are closed," Sparta Commodities analyst Neil Crosby said.
  
  The conflict has taken about 11 million barrels per day out of global oil supply, with the International Energy Agency describing the crisis as worse than the two 1970s oil shocks combined.
  
  "Every day flows through the Strait remain restricted, more than 10 million barrels of oil are missing ... tightening the oil market further," said UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo.
  
  Analysts at Macquarie Group said that oil prices will fall quickly if the war begins to wind down soon but still remain above pre-conflict levels. However, prices could rise to $200 if the war drags on until the end of June, they added. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Brent futures fell 84 cents, or 0.8%, to $107.17 per barrel as of 0353 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures lost $1.02, or 1.1%, to $93.46 per barrel, trimming gains from a bullish previous session.
  
  Both benchmarks were trading 4.6% lower on a weekly basis despite the Brent rising 5.7% and WTI gaining 4.6% on Thursday on fears of further escalation of the war.

  Analysts at Macquarie Group said if the war begins to wind down soon, oil prices will fall quickly in coming months, but still remain at pre-conflict levels. However, prices could rise to $200 if the war drags on until end of June, they said.
  
  "With each passing day, market pressure is building. Asian countries are tapping buffer stocks and weighing demand adjustments," said Mukesh Sahdev, founder & CEO of Australia-based consultancy XAnalysts.

  Record Oil and Gas Output Fails to Shield CNOOC from Market Volatility
  Lower oil prices offset a record-high oil and gas production to drag down the 2025 profit of Chinese oil and gas giant CNOOC from a year earlier and below analyst estimates. CNOOC Ltd, China’s top offshore crude oil and natural gas producer, on Thursday... Read more Lower oil prices offset a record-high oil and gas production to drag down the 2025 profit of Chinese oil and gas giant CNOOC from a year earlier and below analyst estimates.
  
  CNOOC Ltd, China’s top offshore crude oil and natural gas producer, on Thursday reported a net profit of $17.7 billion (122.1 billion Chinese yuan) for 2025, down by 11.5% from 2024. The company attributed the decline to “the adverse impact of lower oil prices.”
  
  The 2025 net profit turned out lower than the $18.9 billion (130.7 billion yuan) average of analyst estimates in a Bloomberg survey.
  
  Revenues from CNOOC’s oil and gas sales fell by 5.6% last year from 2024, with oil sales revenues down by 9.1% and natural gas sales up by 16.9%.
  
  While the realized natural gas price was 3% higher, the realized crude oil and liquids price fell by 13.4%, to $66.47 per barrel in 2025, down from $76.75 a barrel for 2024.
  
  The lower realized prices dented the profits, despite the record-high annual production last year.
  
  CNOOC’s net oil and gas production for 2025 reached a new record high of 777.3 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe), an increase of 7% compared to 2024. Offshore oil and gas has become a critical contributor to China’s reserves and production growth, the company said.
  
  This year, CNOOC plans to further boost its oil and gas reserves and production and build competitive advantages through international expansion. The Chinese major targets annual oil and gas production of between 780 million boe and 800 million boe for 2026.
  
  In the macro outlook for 2026, CNOOC said that “the world faces heightened geopolitical risks and successive waves of regional conflicts, and uncertainty surrounding oil prices is set to increase markedly.”
  
  “Global inflationary pressures increase, economic growth remains weak, and growth divergence among different economies will further intensify,” the Chinese oil and gas giant said.

  Iran’s Gift To the World: 10 Oil Tankers Through Strait of Hormuz

Read more President Donald Trump said Thursday that Iran allowed 10 oil tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz, describing the move as a “present” and a sign of progress in ongoing negotiations. The comment, made during a Cabinet meeting, offers the clearest indication yet of what the administration had been hinting at earlier this week—some limited easing at the world’s most critical oil chokepoint.
  
  The details are scant. The White House has not confirmed specifics on the vessels, their cargo, or whether additional transits are expected. Trump suggested the ships were foreign-flagged, possibly Pakistani, and framed the move as a goodwill gesture from Tehran.
  
  The market will take it for what it is: incremental and highly conditional.
  
  Flows through the Strait of Hormuz have been restricted for weeks, with Iran effectively controlling passage and allowing select cargoes through at its discretion. The result has been a sharp dislocation between paper and physical markets, with Brent trading at $108 per barrel while physical barrels struggle to move.
  
  Ten tankers does not fix that, but it’s a start.
  
  At normal operating levels, the Strait handles roughly a fifth of global oil flows. Letting a small number of vessels through may ease some immediate pressure—particularly for buyers in Asia—but it does not restore anything close to normal trade.
  
  But it does reinforce the point that access to the Strait is now a lever.
  
  Iran appears willing to modulate flows, not reopen them outright. That keeps pressure on the global system while signaling just enough flexibility to keep negotiations alive.
  
  Still, every barrel moving through Hormuz right now is doing so on someone’s terms. Source: Oilprice.com

  Saudi Oil Exports to China and India Set to Fall Amid War Disruptions

The traders said Saudi oil exports to... Read more Saudi crude oil exports to its two biggest clients, India and China, are on course to decline in April because of the production disruptions in the Middle East, Bloomberg reported earlier today, citing traders.
  
  The traders said Saudi oil exports to the Chinese market were seen at some 40 million barrels, down from 48 million barrels shipped to the world’s top importer in February. Shipments to India were seen at around 23 million barrels, the Bloomberg sources said. That would be down from between 25 and 28 million barrels in February, based on figures from Vortexa and Kpler, the publication noted.
  
  Earlier this week, Reuters reported that Saudi oil giant Aramco had notified customers of term supply in Asia that they would receive in April only the flagship Arab Light grade loaded at the Yanbu export port on the Red Sea. So far in March, Saudi Aramco has exported about 4.355 million barrels per day of crude, according to Kpler data. This is way below the 7.1 million bpd in exports in February.
  
  Saudi Arabia has been rerouting oil flows from the Strait of Hormuz in the east to the port of Yanbu in the west via the East-West pipeline. Last week, loadings from Yanbu averaged 4 million barrels daily, with tankers essentially standing in line to load Saudi crude from the Red Sea port. Data from Kpler, quoted earlier this week by Reuters, suggested that the daily loading rates at Saudi oil export terminals since the start of the month have averaged 4.355 million barrels. Loadings from Yanbu specifically are seen at an average of 3.8 million barrels daily, which would be an all-time high.
  
  Clearly, the rerouting has not been enough to offset the Strait of Hormuz disruption, hence the two consecutive months of lower shipments to India and China, both of which have tapped temporarily de-sanctioned Russian barrels at sea. Source: Oilprice.com

  Iran Earning $139 Million a Day From Oil as Hormuz Crisis Locks Out Rivals
  Iran’s oil exports have not collapsed and are fetching much higher prices than before the war, handing Tehran handsome extra revenues from its crude, which is the only one unimpeded from transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Unlike all other Gulf producers,... Read more Iran’s oil exports have not collapsed and are fetching much higher prices than before the war, handing Tehran handsome extra revenues from its crude, which is the only one unimpeded from transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Unlike all other Gulf producers, Iran is passing its oil through the Strait of Hormuz and its export volumes remain resilient. Steady volumes and higher prices have been bringing millions of dollars of additional oil revenues for the Islamic Republic since the war began, as oil prices jumped and discounts for Iranian barrels significantly narrowed versus Brent.
  
  Iran has likely earned $139 million per day by selling its flagship Iran Light crude so far in March, according to Bloomberg calculations based on export estimates by Tankertrackers.com and prices for Iranian Light.
  
  The estimated daily revenues were nearly $25 million higher compared to the average of $115 million daily proceeds from Iranian Light in February, according to Bloomberg’s calculations.
  
  Iran is benefiting in several ways from the Hormuz crisis.
  
  First, its tankers are transiting the Strait of Hormuz while most other Gulf oil supply is still trapped. Then, the massive supply shock from the Middle East has hiked international crude prices to above $100 per barrel (at about $105 a barrel of Brent early on Thursday), which adds more revenues from oil sales. And last but not least, the huge discount of more than $10 per barrel for Iran’s oil to Brent before the war has now narrowed to just $2.10 per barrel this week.
  
  Iranian oil exports have remained resilient since the U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran and killed the Ayatollah, meaning that the jump in oil prices and the free flow of Iranian oil through the Strait of Hormuz is likely hiking Iran’s oil revenues.
  
  Iranian crude exports remain relatively steady, maritime intelligence firm Windward said on Wednesday.
  
  The U.S. waiver on Iranian sales may not be attracting buyers beyond the already established customers, the Chinese independent refiners, but it surely is driving up the price of Iranian crude to narrowed discounts to Brent. Source: Oilprice.com

  Barclays: Prolonged Hormuz Blockage Could Wipe Out 14 Million Bpd of Oil Supply
  The global oil market could lose up to 14 million barrels per day (bpd) of supply if the blockage at the Strait of Hormuz extends for more weeks, according to Barclays. A prolonged disruption at the world's most vital oil chokepoint is set to lead... Read more The global oil market could lose up to 14 million barrels per day (bpd) of supply if the blockage at the Strait of Hormuz extends for more weeks, according to Barclays.
  
  A prolonged disruption at the world's most vital oil chokepoint is set to lead to 13-14 million bpd of supply losses—an immense shock, the UK-based investment bank said in a note on Thursday, as reported by Reuters.
  
  However, both the magnitude of the supply loss and the duration of the Hormuz closure are highly uncertain, Barclays analysts noted.
  
  “Notwithstanding uncertainty about the ceasefire negotiations, in our base case, we expect traffic through the Strait to normalize by early April, which would be consistent with Brent averaging $85/b in 2026,” they wrote.
  
  But if the blockage extends into the end of April, Brent Crude could reprice to $100 per barrel, and further up to $110 a barrel if the closure extends through May, according to Barclays.
  
  Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs said that the supply losses from the Iran War could peak at about 17 million bpd, as it raised its 2026 average price forecasts for both Brent and West Texas Intermediate benchmarks.
  
  Early on Thursday in Asian trade, Brent Crude prices were trading at $105 per barrel, up by 3%, after signals emerged that Iran may not be interested in holding talks on a ceasefire.
  
  WTI Crude was also up 3% at $93 per barrel, as the U.S. benchmark continues to trade at a major discount to Brent amid the frantic search of Brent-linked crudes in Asia, where supply shortages are already being acutely felt.
  
  By 20 March, supply disruptions in the Middle East reached 10.7 million bpd, according to Kpler's estimates. These could rise to as much as 11.5 million bpd by late March and remain at that level throughout April if the situation in the Strait of Hormuz does not improve, Kpler's analyst said, noting that short-term fixes to the supply loss, such as stocks release and sanctions relief “can only delay, not offset, the growing structural deficit.” Source: Oilprice.com
