Oil prices surged for a second day running on Tuesday as global markets brace for a prolonged conflict in the Middle East. On Monday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officially declared the Strait of Hormuz "closed," warning that any vessel attempting to pass will be attacked or "set ablaze". While the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) maintains the waterway is not formally closed, traffic has dropped by approximately 70-80%, with major global shippers, including Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, and MSC, suspending all crossings. Brent crude…

Iraq has already begun shutting in production as exports through the Strait of Hormuz become increasingly constrained. Roughly 1.5 million barrels per day are reportedly offline, and officials have warned that figure could approach 3 million bpd if disruptions persist. At 3 million bpd, this becomes one of the largest sudden supply losses in the modern market outside of sanctions or war. Iraq’s total crude production has been running near 4.0–4.3 million bpd, according to recent OPEC secondary-source data. Exports typically average…

China has been amassing crude in strategic and commercial reserves for nearly a year—propping up oil prices throughout 2025 even though its demand growth has weakened. As we rolled into the very tumultuous 2026 with two major geopolitical events upending oil markets in as many months – the U.S. blitz to capture Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro and the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran – China’s oil hoarding will likely pay off in these early days of the unpredictable and already highly disruptive war in the Middle East. The Chinese…

Analysts had expected a build of 2.2 million barrels.

This is 310.1 million barrels shy of maximum capacity. US production fell by 33,000 bpd, sinking to an average of 13.702 million bpd…

The very recent signing of two sets of major oil deals by U.S. oil giant Chevron following the forced withdrawal of Russian firms from key energy projects in Iraq is a key turning point in the West’s resurgence in the Middle East, a senior U.S. Treasury source told OilPrice.com last week. “Iraq is the heartland of the Middle East, a major Iranian ally, vital to Russian and Chinese interests, and it’s allowing a major U.S. force into the centre of its economy,” he underlined. So, what does this mean for Iraq’s energy…

Multiple sources cited by the Times of Malta said a series of explosions occurred before the crew was rescued and transferred to another vessel in the area. Shipping and maritime…

America’s February 28 missile strikes that leveled the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps headquarters ended more than a decade of nuclear stalemate. By the time the dust settled and the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was confirmed, the focus of the conflict had shifted. As Washington navigates the aftermath, it is discovering that the "Resistance Economy" Khamenei spent years building was not merely an oil play. It was a calculated integration into a resource axis designed to withstand Western pressure. And China is the silent partner…

Armenia and Azerbaijan are on edge, worried that TRIPP potentially could be upended by the US-Israeli attack on Iran. Hoping to shield against any spillover, Yerevan and Baku are staking out cautious stances on military developments in Iran, their southern neighbor, calling for a quick cessation of hostilities.  The attack on Iran places Armenia and Azerbaijan in a delicate position. Both have moved quickly since agreeing on a provisional peace deal last summer to develop commercial opportunities with the United States, centering on the launch…

Electricity companies, over the next five years, will spend far more than they had planned to meet rising power demand and to shore up a creaking network. That means selling far more stock than anticipated, too. (The Hidden Math Behind Electricity Prices, OilPrice, 26 February 2026). The utility’s ability to sell that stock at favorable prices depends on the returns that it can earn on the money invested, which, in turn, depends on whether regulators permit it to earn the return dictated by market conditions. That is a long-winded way of…
