The Middle East conflict has disrupted global energy flows, forcing countries to rethink supply routes and strengthen energy security. As more buyers turn to the spot market to replace disrupted volumes, Rystad Energy estimates that global LNG importers will spend at least $39 billion more on contracted and spot supplies in 2026, despite purchasing 60.7 million tonnes less. Disruptions to Qatari and UAE exports through the Strait of Hormuz are forcing buyers to secure replacement volume at higher prices. Total portfolio costs are expected to reach…

Egypt’s parliament on Monday authorized military support to defend Saudi Arabia, the same day Yemen’s Houthis claimed unconfirmed attacks on pumping stations along the kingdom’s East-West crude pipeline and on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport. The Houthis had warned Cairo against the move. Yahya Al Raei, speaker of the Houthi-run parliament in Sanaa, wrote to Egyptian Speaker Hisham Badawy last week that joining the conflict “would pose a grave danger” to Egypt’s national security.

Kazakhstan had reason to cheer after receiving a commitment from the International Finance Corporation to help develop infrastructure projects worth $3 billion. But that happy foreign investment news was offset by an international arbitration court’s decision to throw out $12 billion in Kazakh claims against Western oil giants in a dispute over the development of the Kashagan oil field. The IFC, the World Bank’s private-sector wing, will get involved in projects covering the 2026-31 period, focusing on fostering public-private partnerships…

Few could argue with U.S. President Donald Trump’s key objective in launching ‘Operation Epic Fury’ against Iran on 28 February -- to prevent Iran from ever being able to develop a nuclear weapon. All members of his Cabinet fully backed this aim at the time, as they did the other three: to effect regime change, to critically degrade Iran’s ballistic missile capability, and to neutralise the ability of its proxies, especially Hamas and Hezbollah, to cause mayhem across the Middle East and the world. The degree to which these…

It seems that everywhere you look in the financial media these days, there is persistent hype about artificial intelligence (AI) and the companies developing it. Right alongside this great investment boom is doom and gloom about the future value of bonds. Oil, too, is frequently covered for two reasons: the inability of oil futures prices—which seem suspiciously low—to reflect the long-term effects of what is happening in the Persian Gulf, and the high prices of refined products such as gasoline and diesel, where the real squeeze seems…

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), one of the biggest Indian state-owned refiners, will reduce its purchases of crude oil from Russia in November as high freight costs and premiums for Russia’s crude undermine the attractiveness of Moscow’s oil compared to Middle Eastern offers.  BPCL will buy lower volumes of Russian crude in November as the Middle East grades are more commercially attractive for the company now, BPCL’s head of finance, Vetsa Ramakrishna Gupta, said on Monday, discussing the refiner’s quarterly…
