  Oil prices rise as investors doubt US-Iran peace talks breakthrough

Read more Oil prices gained on Friday as investors doubted the prospect of a breakthrough in U.S.-Iran peace talks and buyers prepared for the start of the U.S. summer driving season, but remained on track for a weekly loss.
  Brent crude futures were up $1.58, or 1.54%, at $104.16 a barrel by 9:44 a.m. CDT (1444 GMT), while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures were $1.17, or 1.21%, higher at $97.52. Both had risen over 3% earlier in the session.
  On a weekly basis, Brent was more than 4% lower and WTI was down by more than 7%, with prices fluctuating sharply as expectations for a peace deal between Iran and the U.S. shifted.
  A diplomatic source in Islamabad told Iran’s state news agency IRNA that Pakistan’s army chief had left for Iran. A senior Iranian source told Reuters earlier that gaps with the U.S. have narrowed, and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke of "some good signs" in talks.
  "There’s been some progress. I wouldn’t exaggerate it. I wouldn’t diminish it," Rubio told reporters after a NATO ministers’ meeting in Sweden. "There’s more work to be done," he added. "We’re not there yet. I hope we get there."
  Rubio said the United States was in constant communication with the Pakistanis who are facilitating the talks with Iran.
  However, the countries are still divided on Tehran’s uranium stockpile and controls on the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Rubio also said the U.S. had not requested the assistance of NATO allies in reopening the strait.
  The market has been trying to assess when a possible peace deal might be struck, while global oil inventories are depleting at an alarming pace as oil flows via the Strait of Hormuz slow to a trickle, said PVM Oil Associates analyst Tamas Varga.
  "The optimism of a relatively imminent truce and bearish rhetoric whenever Brent approaches $110 prevents oil prices from rallying significantly higher," he said.
  Separately, a Qatari negotiating team arrived in Tehran on Friday in coordination with the U.S. to help secure a deal, a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Friday.
  Six weeks since a fragile ceasefire took effect, efforts to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran have shown little progress, while elevated oil prices have fuelled concern over inflation and the outlook for the global economy.
  BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions, has raised its average 2026 dated Brent price forecast to $90 from $81.50 to reflect the supply deficit, time required to repair damaged Gulf energy infrastructure, and a six-to-eight-week post-conflict normalisation window.
  Around 20% of global energy supplies transited the strait before the war, which has removed 14 million barrels per day of oil - or 14% of global supply - from the market, including exports from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE and Kuwait.
  Full oil flows through the strait will not return before the first or second quarter of 2027, even if the conflict ends now, the head of UAE state oil firm ADNOC said.
  China’s refined fuel exports in June might rise only slightly from May as it tries to safeguard its own demand needs, three trade sources close to the matter told Reuters, to around 550,000 metric tons or slightly more compared with about 500,000 tons expected for May.
  Seven leading OPEC+ oil-producing countries will likely agree to a modest hike to July output when they meet on June 7, four sources said, though delivery for several remains disrupted by the war. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Brent crude futures rose $1.66, or 1.6%, to $104.24 a barrel by 0405 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures were up $1.11, or 1.2%, at $97.46.

  "Oil prices would only trend lower when oil market fundamentals materially improve, which looks destined to stretch into 2027," said David Oxley, chief commodities economist at Capital Economics.
  Six weeks since a fragile ceasefire took effect, efforts to end the war have shown little progress, while elevated oil prices have fuelled concern over inflation and the outlook for global economy.
  "WTI is likely to remain in a $90–$110 range next week, as it has largely done since late March," said Satoru Yoshida, a commodity analyst with Rakuten Securities.
  BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions, raised its average 2026 dated Brent price forecast to $90 from $81.50 to reflect the supply deficit, time required to repair damaged Middle East energy infrastructure, and the six-to-eight week post-conflict normalisation window.

  Geologic Hydrogen Could Produce Clean Fuel for Less Than $1 Per Kilogram

Read more For years, green hydrogen has been touted as a kind of silver bullet for decarbonization. Hydrogen can be combusted at high temperatures, making it a potential solution for cleaning up some of the dirtiest industrial sectors on earth, with the ability to replace thermal coal in steelmaking and heavy fuel oil in industrial shipping. But instead of releasing greenhouse gases when burned, hydrogen leaves behind nothing but water vapor. Green hydrogen has therefore been a subject of major buzz in the public and private sectors alike for its ability to clean up so-called ‘hard-to-abate sectors’.
  
  But there’s a catch. The problem is that hydrogen is only as green as the energy sources used to make it, and the vast majority of the world’s hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels, most often natural gas. And it turns out that creating hydrogen with renewables is costly, inefficient, and frequently a misuse of those clean energy resources, which could be more efficiently applied through direct consumption.
  
  “Even if production costs decrease in line with predictions, storage and distribution costs will prevent hydrogen being cost-competitive in many sectors,” lead author Roxana Shafiee, a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard University Center for the Environment, told The Harvard Gazette back in October of 2024. “Our results challenge a growing idea that hydrogen will be the ‘Swiss army knife of decarbonization’ and suggest that the opportunities for hydrogen may be narrower than previously thought.”
  
  In fact, the fanfare over green hydrogen has all but died out as reality has failed to keep pace with ambition. A 2025 study on the “green hydrogen ambition and implementation gap”, found that less than a tenth of planned green hydrogen projects were actually carried out. “Tracking 190 projects over 3 years, we identify a wide 2023 implementation gap with only 7% of global capacity announcements finished on schedule,” reads the paper, published in the scientific journal Nature Energy.
  
  But a new approach to harvesting hydrogen could flip the script on the economics of the sector and revitalize flagging confidence in its disruptive potential. Vema Hydrogen, a startup working in Quebec, Canada is taking a new approach to harvesting hydrogen in a low-carbon approach – by digging deep into the Earth. The goal is to create a very specific chemical chain reaction that would produce hydrogen with limited associated greenhouse gas emissions. This emerging field is known as “geologic hydrogen.”
  
  “This could be transformational if we can figure it out,” Madeline Schomburg, a vice president at nonprofit research organization Energy Futures Initiative, recently told the New York Times. “Even if the likelihood of success is low, the potential rewards are so high that it’s worth exploring.”
  
  The energy and economic potential of such a breakthrough would be hard to overstate. The United States Department of Energy estimates that geologic hydrogen could potentially produce hydrogen for less than $1 per kilogram. That represents an enormous savings compared to the current green hydrogen price of approximately $3.50–$6.00 per kilogram. In fact, that would make it even cheaper than hydrogen made using fossil fuels, turning current hydrogen economics on its head and possibly even revolutionizing and catalyzing global pathways to reaching net zero carbon emissions.
  
  However, the science behind achieving the desired chemical reactions still has a long way to go. The push to achieve commercially scalable geologic hydrogen is still in its infancy, and achieving $1 hydrogen remains a far-off dream. But it’s a dream that finally feels possible.
  
  And it’s a dream that may receive a much needed windfall from the current global energy crisis, as world leaders become more bullish on next-gen energy alternatives that could finally wean the world off of geopolitically fraught oil and gas supply chains once and for all. In fact, leaders in the United States and Europe are already changing their tune on green hydrogen projects, and investing dollars are starting to flow into green hydrogen once more.
