  Oil falls but on track for 8% weekly gain on supply concerns; US diesel hits record high

Brent crude futures were... Read more Oil prices fell on Friday but remained on course for a weekly gain of more than 8% while U.S. diesel prices hit a record high as attacks along Middle East shipping routes stoked concerns about prolonged supply disruptions.
  
  Brent crude futures were down $3.28, or 3.05%, to $104.35 a barrel at 1309 GMT.
  
  U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell $3.41, or 3.33%, to $99.07 a barrel. Both benchmarks hit their highest levels since mid-May earlier in the session.
  
  Both reversed early gains after the Financial Times reported that foreign ministers in the Middle East are trying to work out a temporary deal with Iran to manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  On Thursday, Brent and WTI rose more than 6% after an escalation in shipping attacks in the region.
  
  "Some headlines of possible new talks in the Middle East are weighing moderately on oil prices today," said UBS energy analyst Giovanni Staunovo. "I keep seeing near-term risks to the upside for oil prices, but we should expect ongoing high price volatility too."
  
  In a further potentially significant development for Riyadh, satellite imagery showed smoke on Thursday in the vicinity of Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline, which has become a vital means for the kingdom to divert its crude exports away from Hormuz.
  
  Saudi Arabia’s crude supply fell by 2.3 million barrels per day on the month to 6 million bpd in August, the lowest level in more than three decades, the International Energy Agency said on Friday, citing attacks on Saudi energy facilities.
  
  Adding to concerns over regional oil flows, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis on Friday reached the island of Perim in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, four Yemeni government sources told Reuters, potentially tightening their grip on one of the world’s vital shipping routes.
  
  Iran said it had attacked 10 ships near the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, after the U.S. hit five Iranian oil tankers. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it would escalate its response to any further attacks.
  
  Vessel transits at the Strait of Hormuz fell to seven on Thursday from 11 the previous day, preliminary ship-tracking data showed on Friday.
  
  The strait handled about 125 commodity vessels and one-fifth of global daily oil and liquefied natural gas supplies before the Iran war began in late February.
  
  Meanwhile, two European Central Bank policymakers opened the door on Friday to further interest rate increases if a war-fuelled rise in energy prices continues and pushes up other prices in the euro zone.
  
  SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS LIFT FUEL PRICES
  
  Oil supply disruptions due to the Iran war, along with Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s refineries, pushed the U.S. national average diesel price past $6 a gallon for the first time on Thursday, according to price tracker GasBuddy.
  
  "Refined products, particularly diesel, are feeling a one-two punch right now," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.
  
  "As long as both the Gulf shipping constraints and Russian refining outages remain in play, diesel and other refined products are likely to show a higher upside tendency than the broader crude market," he added.
  
  Commerzbank raised its year-end Brent crude forecast to $85 a barrel from $75, while increasing its diesel forecast to $1,200 a ton from $950 and its jet fuel forecast to $1,230 a ton from $980. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Oil prices set to end week above $100 for first time in nearly 4 months

Read more Oil prices rose on Friday and both major benchmarks are on track to end the week above $100 a barrel for the first time since mid-May, as increasing attacks along key shipping routes in the Middle East fuel fears of a prolonged disruption to supplies.
  
  Brent crude futures rose 81 cents, or 0.8%, to $108.44 a barrel by 0345 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 69 cents, or 0.7%, to $103.17 a barrel. Both benchmarks rose more than 6% on Thursday.
  
  On a weekly basis, the benchmarks were trading nearly 13% higher — the steepest gain since the week ended July 17.
  
  Iran-aligned Houthis seized control of Yemen’s port of Mocha on Thursday, posing a further threat to Red Sea traffic, while Gulf traffic remains restricted through the Strait of Hormuz as tanker attacks in the region have intensified in recent days.
  
  Attacks from Yemen on Saudi energy facilities marked an escalation beyond Iran and the Strait of Hormuz and raised fears of prolonged disruptions in the broader region, analysts say.
  
  "While meaningful volumes are still moving through the Strait of Hormuz, flows remain well below pre‑war levels, underscoring how fragile the situation has become," ING analysts said in a note.
  
  U.S. DIESEL PRICES SURPASS $6 A GALLON
  
  Oil supply disruptions due to the U.S.-Iran war, along with Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s refineries, pushed the U.S. national average diesel price past $6 a gallon for the first time ever on Thursday, according to price tracker GasBuddy.
  
  Still, U.S. President Donald Trump has not shown any signs of easing attacks on Iran. He warned the U.S. may hit Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain near its heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, but said he thought the war would end immediately after the November midterm elections.
  
  Iran said it had attacked 10 ships near the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, after the U.S. hit five Iranian oil tankers. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it would escalate its response to any further attacks.
  
  "With events spiralling and Iran showing it is willing to stretch this conflict as wide and as long as it can, it is becoming increasingly likely that WTI crude will retest the $119.48 high from early March," IG analyst Tony Sycamore said.
  
  Analysts said the rally’s durability will hinge on China, the world’s largest crude importer. If China continues to buy, it could amplify the impact of supply disruptions and drive prices higher.
  
  OPEC lowered its forecast for world oil demand growth in 2026 to 380,000 barrels per day, a copy of its monthly report showed, marking the fifth straight downward revision. OPEC oil output fell by 640,000 bpd in August, a Reuters survey found.
  
  "The next leg in oil will depend less on headlines and more on whether physical flows improve or deteriorate further," said Phillip Nova analyst Priyanka Sachdeva.
  
  "The question now is whether the market can stabilise below $120, or whether another wave of supply disruption pushes crude into a completely new price regime." Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  U.S. Crude Inventories Fall As Brent Prices Soar

Read more Crude oil inventories in the United States saw a decrease of 400,000 barrels during the week ending September 4, according to new data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released on Thursday. The decrease brings commercial stockpiles to 424.1 million barrels, according to government data, which are now on par with the five-year average for this time of year.
  
  The EIA’s data release follows API’s figures that were released a day earlier, which reported that crude oil inventories had fallen by 300,000 barrels in the period.
  
  Crude futures were trading up at 11:50 a.m. in New York; Brent futures were trading at $106 per barrel—up $4.79 (+4.73%) on the day but up roughly $12 per barrel from this same time last week. WTI was also trading up on the day, by $4.45 per barrel (+4.63%) on Thursday morning at $100.50, up about $11 per barrel since this time last week.
  
  For total motor gasoline, the EIA reported that inventories increased by 1.3 million barrels, after falling by 1.2 million barrels in the week prior. The most recent figures showed that average daily gasoline production fell to 9.3 million barrels. For middle distillates, inventories increased by 2.1 million barrels with production increasing to an average of 5.3 million barrels daily. Distillate inventories are now 13% below the five-year average.
  
  Total products supplied—a proxy for U.S. oil demand—averaged 20.1 million barrels per day over the last four weeks, down 3.7% compared to the same period last year. Gasoline demand averaged 8.8 million barrels per day over the last four weeks, with the distillate four-week average supplied averaging 3.7 million barrels—down 2.6% year over year.

  MABUX: Global bunker market set to extend upward trend on Sep. 11 amid escalating Middle East tanker attacks.
  The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO – continued its upward trajectory on Sep. 10 for the fourth consecutive session: 380 HSFO: USD/MT: 672.79 (+12.48) VLSFO: USD/MT: 829.95 (+5.97) MGO:... Read more The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO – continued its upward trajectory on Sep. 10 for the fourth consecutive session:
  
  380 HSFO: USD/MT: 672.79 (+12.48)
  VLSFO: USD/MT: 829.95 (+5.97)
  MGO: USD/MT: 1 463.71 (+8.54)
  
  As of Sep. 10, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which measures the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP), registered the following trends across the four major global bunkering hubs—Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: All four ports remained underpriced. MDI discounts widened by $15 in Rotterdam, $9 in Singapore, $10 in Fujairah, and $24 in Houston. Houston’s MDI discount remained above the $100 mark, while Rotterdam also exceeded this threshold.
  
  • VLSFO segment: Fujairah remained the only overpriced port, although its premium narrowed by $10. The other three ports stayed underpriced, with MDI discounts widening by $33 in Rotterdam, $26 in Singapore, and $20 in Houston. Rotterdam’s MDI discount moved above the $100 threshold.
  
  • MGO LS segment: All four ports remained in the underpriced zone. MDI discounts widened by $33 in Rotterdam, $30 in Singapore, $23 in Fujairah, and $31 in Houston. MDI discounts remained well above the $100 mark across all four hubs.
  
  The global bunker market is expected to maintain its upward momentum on Sep. 11, supported by escalating geopolitical and supply-risk concerns following tanker attacks in the Middle East. The incidents are likely to reinforce the regional risk premium and provide additional upside support to bunker fuel prices:
  380 HSFO: plus 5-15 USD/MT, VLSFO: plus 5-20 USD/MT, MGO LS: plus 3–25 USD/MT.
