  Oil extends drop as Iran TV says it has seen draft deal with US to reopen Hormuz

The report, plus... Read more Oil extended losses on Wednesday, falling over 5% after Iranian state TV said it had seen a draft of an initial, unofficial framework for an agreement with the United States on ending their conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
  The report, plus a pick-up in tanker traffic through the strait, outweighed Iran’s earlier comments that the United States had violated a ceasefire and a tanker on Tuesday reporting an explosion off the Oman coast.
  Brent crude futures fell $3.66, or 3.7%, to $95.92 a barrel by 1305 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude lost $5.19, or 5.59%, to $88.70.
  The losses more than erased Brent’s gains from Tuesday. Brent and WTI touched intraday lows of $94.16 and $87.77 per barrel on Wednesday, their lowest in over a month.
  There has been palpable progress towards ending the supply crisis, with an increasing number of ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, PVM analyst Tamas Varga said. "This is why the downward pressure has resumed," he said, referring to oil prices.
  The U.S. will withdraw military forces from the vicinity of Iran and lift its naval blockade, Iranian state TV said, adding that the management of ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will be handled by Iran in cooperation with Oman.
  "The market keeps reacting to headlines," UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said.
  "There is no indication that this is something different than what we kept hearing since the weekend, and the Iranians have indicated a deal is not imminent. Meanwhile, oil flows through the Strait remain restricted, reducing further oil inventories."
  
  July Brent futures rose 3.6% in the previous session after the U.S. carried out new strikes in Iran, hurting hopes that had risen over the weekend that Washington and Tehran would reach a peace deal.
  Israel ramped up bombing in Lebanon on Tuesday, further straining peace efforts.
  After an April ceasefire in the three-month-long conflict, both sides indicated they had made progress in talks toward reopening the Strait.
  Iran’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz has taken more than 14 million barrels per day of Middle East oil supply offline according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Oil pulls back as traders look for progress on US-Iran talks

Read more Oil prices pulled back from recent highs on Wednesday, erasing some of the previous day’s 4% gain as traders sought clarity on complex negotiations between Iran and the U.S. after renewed hostilities set back efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
  Brent crude futures fell $1.42, or 1.43%, to $98.16 a barrel as of 0253 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude lost $1.66, or 1.77%, to $92.23 a barrel.
  Oil surged on Tuesday after the U.S. military carried out new strikes in Iran, hurting hopes over the weekend that the United States and Iran would reach an agreement to end the war.
  Iran said on Tuesday the United States had violated a ceasefire by striking targets near the contested Strait of Hormuz, while the U.S. said its strikes were defensive in nature.
  Following an April ceasefire in the three-month long conflict, both sides indicated they had made progress on talks toward reopening the Strait, a key conduit for global oil and gas flows. But rising hostilities now threaten those negotiations.
  Israel ramped up bombing on Lebanon on Tuesday, further straining peace efforts.
  Nevertheless, the news that some LNG tankers have passed through the strait in recent days lifted expectations that the waterway might reopen soon, which would add to global supply. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  India Turns to Russia, Brazil, and Venezuela for Crude
  The world’s third-largest crude importer, India, is accelerating efforts to diversify its oil imports in the wake of the Middle East crisis. India had begun raising imports from Russia three years before the Iran war cut off most supplies from the... Read more The world’s third-largest crude importer, India, is accelerating efforts to diversify its oil imports in the wake of the Middle East crisis.
  
  India had begun raising imports from Russia three years before the Iran war cut off most supplies from the Middle East, on which India relies for about half of its crude purchases.
  
  With the Strait of Hormuz de facto closed and only a handful of tankers moving out of the chokepoint per week, and few of these India-bound, the country is looking further away for sources of crude.
  
  Africa and South America have become an important part of India’s crude import slate in recent weeks, as refiners seek to replace the barrels trapped west of the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Lost Middle East Barrels
  
  The share of Middle Eastern supply of all Indian purchases slumped in March and April as most of the crude is trapped behind the Strait and unable to leave the Persian Gulf.
  
  Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have sent relatively stable volumes to India since the war started. But they are the only Middle Eastern producers with pipeline capacity to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and ship crude from ports not needing access to the chokepoint.

  Crude from Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain couldn’t reach India in recent months.
  
  India didn’t buy any Iraqi crude in April, according to data by Kpler cited by Reuters.
  
  But purchases for May appear to have resumed, probably thanks to bilateral Iraq-Iran agreements for the safe passage of Iraqi oil tankers out of the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  OPEC’s second-largest producer, Iraq, heavily dependent on oil revenues and constrained by limited alternative export routes, has already secured passage for multiple supertankers carrying Basrah crude and is seeking additional agreements with Tehran.
  
  Iraq was one of the first Gulf producers to slash upstream production and now exports a small part of its crude via a pipeline to the Turkish Mediterranean coast. But its key export port at Basrah, which handled the bulk of exports before the war, is constrained due to the nearly impassable Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Preliminary data from Kpler shows that India is set to import about 40,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Iraqi crude in May—higher than the zero imports in April, but much lower than the volumes India has typically bought. For years, Iraq was one of India’s top three crude suppliers.
  
  Africa and South America Fill the Gap
  
  As supply from the Middle East crashes, India is buying growing volumes of crude from West African producers Nigeria and Angola, as well as from South American producers Brazil and Venezuela.
  
  As a result, Brazil and Venezuela moved into the top five of India’s crude oil suppliers in April, according to the Kpler data cited by Reuters.
  
  Russia was the biggest supplier of oil to India in April, as refiners took advantage of the continuous renewal of U.S. waivers for Russian crude loaded on tankers.
  
  The UAE and Saudi Arabia followed in second and third place, as they are the only Middle Eastern producers capable of moving crude from ports outside the Persian Gulf without having to ship through the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Then came Brazil in fourth, and Venezuela in fifth place among the biggest crude suppliers to India.
  
  This month, Venezuela is even on track to become the third-largest oil supplier to India, per Kpler data cited by Indian media.
  
  India began importing Venezuelan crude in April, after the U.S. took control of Venezuelan oil sales early this year following the capture of Nicolas Maduro and desanctioned sales of Venezuelan crude, which are now being handled by the world’s biggest oil trading houses.
  
  Indian imports of Venezuelan oil are expected to average 417,000 bpd in May, nearly double from the 283,000 bpd shipped in April, and zero imports for the previous nine months, according to Kpler’s preliminary tracking.
  
  This would make Venezuela the third-biggest oil supplier to India this month, behind Russia and the UAE and replacing none other than the world’s top crude exporter, Saudi Arabia.
  
  “Indian buyers have historically shown strong interest in Venezuelan barrels due to their attractive economics and compatibility with complex refining systems,” Nikhil Dubey, lead analyst-refining at Kpler, said, as carried by the Economic Times.
  
  Many of India’s big refineries, including Reliance Industries’ Jamnagar site, the world’s largest integrated, single-location refining complex, are geared to process heavier crudes with higher sulfur content.
  
  Brazil is also boosting its crude exports to record highs and sending growing volumes to Asian markets, which are reeling from the Hormuz crisis.
  
  India is shifting its crude import slate, but it has reduced overall imports compared to pre-war levels due to the soaring oil prices.
  
  The world’s most populous country has been suffering from the crisis, which has crippled not only its crude supply, but also those of the main cooling fuel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Oil marketing companies in India have just raised fuel prices for the fourth time in less than a month, after holding off on price hikes for two months after the war began.
  
  India’s economic pains are intensifying every day that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. One of the highest-performing emerging markets in recent years is scrambling to contain the oil shock that is spreading to consumer prices, foreign exchange reserves, current accounts, and economic growth.

  How U.S. Control of Venezuelan Oil Is Reshaping Asian Energy
  Asian nations are scrambling to find new oil and gas suppliers as the Iran war stretches on and negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz remain murky at best. Asia, the primary purchaser of oil and gas supplies out of the Gulf, has been hit hardest by the... Read more Asian nations are scrambling to find new oil and gas suppliers as the Iran war stretches on and negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz remain murky at best. Asia, the primary purchaser of oil and gas supplies out of the Gulf, has been hit hardest by the sudden blockage of approximately one-fifth of the world's crude trade. Energy prices are soaring throughout the region, and global oil reserves are running dangerously low. As a result, Asian leaders are racing to establish new sources of energy, from accelerating home-grown clean energy infrastructure to forging new and surprising trading partners.
  
  India, in particular, has been thrown into turmoil by the extended closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The waterway has historically seen the passage of 40 percent of India's crude oil supplies. Its overnight closure has therefore caused a major shock to the world's most populous nation, pushing energy prices and inflation to soar, the rupee to plummet, and investors to flee. Indian government data shows that foreign investors pulled over $20 billion out of Indian equities in the first four months of the year, and the country's currency has plummeted to a historic low against the United States dollar.
  
  It is against this backdrop that India has greatly strengthened its trade relationship with Venezuela. The South American nation is home to the biggest proven oil reserves in the world, but its export sector has collapsed over the last decade through a combination of gross mismanagement, economic and civic collapse, and broad sanctions driven by the United States and upheld by many of its political allies. But in the last quarter, shipments of Venezuelan oil to India have risen by about 50 percent, making Venezuela India's third-largest crude supplier behind Russia and the United Arab Emirates.
  
  The uptick in Venezuelan oil and gas exports is only partially due to increased demand driven by the United States and Israel's war in Iran. The other, perhaps primary reason is that Venezuela's oil industry is now under the control of the United States after President Nicolas Maduro was captured by U.S. troops and abducted from Venezuela in January. Now that Washington has control of Venezuela's estimated 303 billion barrels of oil, the Trump administration seems to be "eager to push Venezuelan crude back onto the global market" according to recent reporting from Al Jazeera.
  
  "Analysts say Washington is attempting to reshape global energy supply chains – reducing Iran's leverage in any peace talks – while simultaneously tightening its grip over Venezuela's oil sector," the report goes on to say.
  
  However, it may be too soon to announce any kind of comeback for the Venezuelan oil sector – and, likewise, too soon for India to count on Venezuelan crude as a long-term lifeline. Venezuela's infrastructure is in such dire straits that the scale of investment needs "clouds post-Maduro economic hopes" in the words of France 24.
  
  The United States' outsized impact on global energy markets and role in increased global market turbulence may have lasting and unintended consequences on international energy strategy and security, especially in Asian nations. Indeed, the United States actions (and inactions) in Asian energy markets are eroding trust in Washington as a strategic ally in much of the East. India, Indonesia, and the Philippines have all experienced devastating economic consequences with little relief in sight.
  
  Policy analysts at the East Asia Forum have reflected that "The war has […] fuelled doubts about US security commitments in the Indo-Pacific" and may catalyze greater inter-Asian cooperation and coordination in response to shifting trade winds. "As the United States and China have grown increasingly unreliable, regional integration in security, energy and finance has become a necessity to cushion the region from the long-term costs of the Strait of Hormuz crisis," the East Asia Forum report concluded.
