  Oil oscillates around $100 as Trump says Iran war could end soon

Read more Oil prices slipped from multi-year highs in European trading on Wednesday, briefly slipping below the $100 a barrel threshold, after President Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. could be pursuing an impending exit from the Iran war.
  Futures contracts expiring in June for Brent crude, the global benchmark, were last down by 1.7% at $102.25 a barrel. Following the outbreak of the war in late February, Brent temporarily shot up to as high as roughly $120 a barrel. Prior to the conflict, the contract was exchanging hands at around $70 a barrel.
  Meanwhile, U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 2.4% to $98.92 per barrel.

  Trump said on Tuesday that Washington could withdraw from the conflict within “two to three weeks,” adding that Iran doesn’t have to make a deal to conclude the conflict.
  He also reiterated that negotiations with Iran are going well, a claim that has been frequently disputed by officials in Tehran. However, Iran did acknowledge that messages are being exchanged between both sides, while the country’s president indicated that Iran has the "necessary will" to end the war should it receive guarantees that it will not be attacked again.
  The White House said Trump would address the nation on Wednesday to provide an “important update on Iran."
  Earlier this week, a Wall Street Journal report said Trump had told aides that he was willing to stop the U.S. assault on Iran without having largely reopened the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for roughly a fifth of global oil supply.
  
  Tanker traffic through the strait has all but collapsed due to the threat of Iranian attacks on vessels, sustaining constant upward pressure on oil prices. Analysts have suggested that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz, or even a potential Iranian toll on ships passing through the strait, could keep oil prices elevated in the near-term.
  U.S. crude stock surge against expectations of a draw - API
  Elsewhere, data from the American Petroleum Institute showed U.S. crude inventories rose by 10.26 million barrels last week, sharply above expectations for a 1.3 million-barrel draw and compared with a prior build of 2.3 million barrels, pointing to weaker demand.
  American Petroleum Institute CEO Mike Sommers on Tuesday underscored the structural risk to supply.
  Sommers said reopening the strait was “the critical piece” to stabilise global markets, warning that without restored flows, oil prices would continue rising across major consuming regions. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

Read more Oil prices held near multi-year highs in Asian trading on Wednesday as investors weighed conflicting signals on Iran after U.S. President Donald Trump flagged an end to the war without reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
  As of 20:18 ET (00:18 GMT), Brent Oil Futures expiring in June rose 0.5% to $104.47 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures for May advanced 0.8% to $102.21 per barrel.
  Brent crude futures for May had settled about 5% higher at $118.31 a barrel in the prior session, while the WTI contract ended lower at $101.62.
  Brent futures posted a record monthly gain of more than 63% in March, driven by fears of prolonged supply disruptions.

  U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Washington could withdraw from the conflict within “two to three weeks,” adding that Iran doesn't have to make a deal to end the conflict.
  However, a Wall Street Journal report stated that Trump had told aides he was willing to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed.
  On the Iranian side, state media reported that President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran was ready to end the war, while reiterating key demands, reinforcing expectations that negotiations could emerge but remain conditional
  Despite these diplomatic signals, the market reaction was muted, with traders balancing hopes for a ceasefire against the reality of ongoing supply disruptions.
  
  The Strait of Hormuz -- a critical artery for roughly a fifth of global oil supply -- has seen tanker traffic collapse amid the conflict, sharply restricting exports and sustaining upward pressure on prices.

  Saudi Arabia Trades Oil Barrels for Batteries

Read more As Saudi Arabia redirects more and more crude from the east to the west, where it can export it safely, oil seems to be all that everyone is watching. But not Saudi Arabia itself. In fact, the world’s second-largest oil producer and top exporter has big plans in another area: battery storage.
  
  Battery storage has been dubbed the Holy Grail of the energy transition because it helps make wind and solar installations less dependent on the weather. However, while costs have fallen significantly, battery storage remains a financial drag. An even bigger issue for many transition-focused regions is China’s dominance in all things transition, from solar panels to lithium. This is where Saudi Arabia’s time to shine in a new light came a few years ago.
  
  In 2022, the kingdom staked a claim as a future mining hub with an event called the Future Minerals Forum that has since then been held annually, seeking to boost investment in the desert state’s mineral resources, which appear to be significant and include battery minerals such as lithium and vanadium, along with other transition-important metals such as copper.
  
  Indeed, metals and minerals are a major diversification vector under the Vision 2030 program spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, with the mining sector’s revenue contributions by 2030 expected at $64 billion, per The National. In other words, Saudi Arabia, the world’s top exporter of crude oil, is betting on the shift away from oil, and it is expecting this bet to pay off—and it may well do.
  
  “If you think about other countries starting to make batteries that haven't been producing batteries before, they are completely constrained and unable to do so because all of today's battery materials – while they are actually sourced globally, with the exception of graphite – they are all refined and processed in China,” the chief executive of a company called Pure Lithium told The National this week.
  
  “By leapfrogging the current lithium-ion technology with lithium metal technology, we can circumvent Chinese dominance of the supply chain,” Emilie Bodoin also told the publication, referring to a significant concern of countries that want to reduce their dependence on hydrocarbons but not replace it with a new dependence on materials sourced from China.
  
  This is an opportune moment for transition-related industries. As the supply of oil and gas from the Middle East gets severely squeezed, there is a new impetus for switching to alternative forms of energy, which need batteries to work in a way comparable—though alas not equivalent—to baseload power generation. In other words, this could be a golden moment for battery companies.
  
  Indeed, analyst estimates from the last two years already suggested the global battery storage market was set for meteoric growth, even before oil and gas supply got disrupted by the war in the Middle East. One of these estimates, from Rystad Energy, sees global installed battery storage capacity surge ninefold between 2024 and 2040. Of course, this growth would depend on prices for materials, so if Saudi Arabia wants to compete with China, it would need to compete on prices as well as mineral supply. Price just became an even more important consideration because the energy crisis will hurt the finances of all the countries eager to continue pursuing an energy transition, notably in Europe.
  
  Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia itself is building a significant battery storage capacity at home. The target for 2030 is 48 GWh in capacity, as it also builds out solar generation. That way, the kingdom would use less oil for local power generation and have more to export—as long as export channels reopen. Source: Oilprice.com
