Pakistan LNG Seeks Emergency Cargo After Weekend Hormuz Flare-Up

Accelerating +23%· vel 52· Updated 11h agoGlobal

Pakistan’s state LNG importer is urgently seeking to procure an LNG cargo for delivery this week, with offers due on June 29, as traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains volatile amid persistent threats to tankers and reignited U.S.-Iran tensions. Pakistan LNG, the state-owned firm, has issued an “urgent request” for LNG cargo delivery between June 30 and July 4, per a tender document cited by Bloomberg. The Pakistani dependence on Middle Eastern LNG created a major gas supply and power cris

Oil Prices Climb as U.S.-Iran Flare-Up Shakes Market Complacency

Rising +8%· vel 59· Updated 13h agoGlobal

Oil prices were climbing early on Monday morning after a fresh escalation between the U.S. and Iran over the weekend. The price rise was relatively delayed, as markets continue to price in a potential peace deal while discounting more bullish geopolitical catalysts. A growing number of analysts have been arguing that markets are being too optimistic about a quick return of Hormuz traffic and too complacent about the continued drawdown in global inventories to multi-decade lows. At the time of wr

China’s LNG Buying Rebounds as Summer Power Demand Surges

Rising +7%· vel 42· Updated 16h agoGlobal

China’s imports of liquefied natural gas this month are likely to be unchanged on last year’s, Kpler has forecast, seeing arrivals of a total of 5.29 million tons, as cited by Bloomberg. The June total, however, would be an increase on May LNG imports, which stood at 4.9 million tons, as demand growth intensifies, driven by air-conditioning in the summer. The May figure was a reversal of import trends from the previous few months, which booked a series of declines amid crimped supply from the Mi

Strait of Hormuz Tanker Traffic Slows After Fresh U.S.-Iran Strikes

Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has eased since late last week as vessel owners and operators remain cautious amid the renewed hostilities between Iran and the United States this weekend. On Friday and Saturday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted strikes against multiple targets in Iran, in response to attacks on two vessels near the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil Markets Are Pricing A Supply Surge That Isn’t Guaranteed

Rising +11%· vel 49· Updated 1d agoGlobal

Crude oil prices are in freefall after the United States and Iran agreed on a ceasefire, set to last 60 days. Traders expect the ceasefire to unleash an avalanche of crude, and indeed, tankers are leaving the Persian Gulf in growing numbers. And yet Iran just struck a commercial ship in Hormuz. Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the ceasefire prompted huge discounts in available crude cargoes, noting how Angolan crude was selling at a $10 discount to dated Brent—for the first time in a de
