Record-high U.S. LNG exports have managed to mitigate so far the shock supply loss from Qatar, but American exporters are unlikely to continue running facilities at full capacity for all of this year as maintenance and hurricane season are likely to curtail some supply in the coming months. Qatar’s LNG is offline, and so are the UAE exports, due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, where no LNG tanker has transited since the war began at the end of February. Buyers are now looking at much more expensive LNG supply as the de facto closure…

Warnings are multiplying that the oil supply shock caused by the war in the Middle East is going to cause permanent changes in demand patterns.

I believe the global financial markets are now in what I would call a Wile E. Coyote moment, frequently depicted in the old Warner Bros. animated series called "The Road Runner Show." In this cartoon series, a coyote, while pursuing a roadrunner, would inevitably end up running off a cliff and be suspended in mid-air until he looked down and hurtled to the bottom. I say this because, in case you didn't notice, last week we had the first public admission that fear is starting to grip monetary officials as a result of the Iran conflict. The United…

The ongoing standoff in the Strait of Hormuz between the United States and Iran is forcing a rethink about regional energy and trade routes. Afghanistan is a potential lynchpin of a new route that circumvents the Hormuz choke point, but Taliban control of the country calls into question Kabul’s viability as a connector to global markets.
