  Oil prices slide to 11-day low on hopes of US-Iran diplomacy, Saudi exports

Read more Oil prices slid towards the psychological threshold of $100 a barrel and to their lowest in 11 days on Monday as investors hoped for diplomatic progress on the Iran war due to this week’s UN meeting, and eyed a partial recovery in shipments from Saudi Arabia.
  
  Brent crude futures and US West Texas Intermediate crude touched their lowest since September 10 earlier on Monday. The Brent contract for November was at $101.18 a barrel at 1254 GMT, down $2.69, or 2.6%.
  
  The WTI October contract that is expiring on Tuesday also fell $2.69, or 2.7%, to $97.61 a barrel. The November contract stood at $93.49.
  
  Iran and the US exchanged new threats on Sunday, although President Donald Trump said he would be open to meeting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is expected to be in New York this week for the United Nations General Assembly.
  
  Iran has conveyed its conditions to mediators for re-engaging in negotiations, Al Jazeera reported, citing Iran’s security chief, Mohsen Rezaei.
  
  However, fighting in the Middle East continued as Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis said they had attacked Riyadh as well as a Saudi Aramco facility in the Red Sea city of Yanbu, while pushing to cut off the Red Sea coast from remaining areas held by Saudi-backed forces.
  
  China has asked Iran to help rein in the Houthis after an appeal to Beijing by Saudi Arabia following the attacks, according to three Iranian sources familiar with the matter.
  
  The attacks by the Houthis on Aramco’s East-West pipeline have prompted the firm to increase exports through the Strait of Hormuz this month and next after halting some shipments via Yanbu.
  
  "Middle East oil flows remain surprisingly strong despite the disruption to Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline," JPMorgan analysts said in a September 18 note.
  
  "The most notable pivot has come from Saudi Arabia," the analysts said, as satellite data indicated Saudi oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz averaged 2.9 million bpd over the past six days, up from just 700,000 bpd in August.
  
  Meanwhile, Libya’s National Oil Corporation Chairman Massoud Suleman told Reuters on Monday that the country’s Sharara oilfield has seen a partial reduction in production, without giving a reason.

Read more Oil prices slid to their lowest in more than a week on Monday on hopes diplomacy in the Iran war will get a chance this week amid a UN meet and as investors eyed a partial recovery in shipments from Saudi Arabia despite ongoing attacks by Yemen’s Houthis.
  
  Brent crude futures and US West Texas Intermediate crude touched their lowest since September 10 earlier on Monday, with Brent at $101.71 a barrel by 0213 GMT, down $2.16, or 2.08%, after settling 0.91% lower on Friday.
  
  US West Texas Intermediate crude lost $2.15, or 2.14%, to $98.15 a barrel following a 1.58% drop in the previous session.
  
  "It seems that a degree of risk premium is being removed from oil prices on hopes that a diplomatic path to de-escalate the US-Iran war may arrive this week," Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade, said.
  
  "Whether that hope proves to be warranted or not is another question. Time will tell."
  
  The WTI broke a key psychological support at $100 a barrel while some investors may have rolled over their positions in the October contract a day ahead of expiry to November, a Singapore-based broker said.
  
  Iran and the US exchanged new threats on Sunday amid the stalemate, although President Donald Trump said he would be open to meeting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is expected to be in New York this week for the United Nations General Assembly.
  
  Iran has conveyed its conditions to mediators for re-engaging in negotiations aimed at ending the war with the US, Al Jazeera cited Iran’s security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, as saying in an interview on Saturday.
  
  However, tensions in the Middle East remained elevated as Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis said they attacked "sensitive" sites in the Saudi capital of Riyadh on Saturday with missiles and drones, as well as an Aramco facility in the Red Sea city of Yanbu, a key oil export hub.
  
  China has asked Iran to help rein in the Houthis after an appeal to Beijing by Saudi Arabia following the attacks, according to three Iranian sources familiar with the matter.
  
  The attacks by the Houthis on Saudi Aramco’s East-West pipeline have prompted the state energy firm to increase exports through the Strait of Hormuz this month and next after halting some shipments via Yanbu.
  
  That enabled exports from the OPEC kingpin to recover to over 4 million barrels per day (bpd) so far in September after slumping to 2.4 million bpd in August, the lowest since at least 2013, according to provisional data from analytics firm Kpler.
  
  "Middle East oil flows remain surprisingly strong despite the disruption to Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline," JPMorgan analysts said in a September 18 note, adding that the total oil flows averaged 17.1 million bpd in the past 10 days, just 6.1 million bpd below the 2025 average.

  Europe Outbids Asia for LNG as Prices Surge 150%

Read more Liquefied natural gas prices on the spot market are moving higher as demand picks up seasonally and Asian importers are souring on the fuel. European buyers are stepping up purchases, however, despite the price. They have no choice.
  
  Asian demand for liquefied gas is set to decline this month—and over the year—according to analysts. September flows of LNG into Asian countries are estimated at 20.09 million tons by Kpler, which would be down from 22.27 million tons a year ago, and 22.25 million tons a month ago, Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week.
  
  At the same time, European LNG imports are on track to increase this month, to 7.98 million tons, rising further to as much as 10.53 million tons in October, as the level of natural gas in storage across the European Union remains substantially below the five-year average for this time of the year.
  
  LNG was trading at $26 per million British thermal units in the week to September 11 and is unlikely to decline anytime soon. Qatar’s LNG export hub remains largely closed for business, with QatarEnergy reported to be seeking deals for U.S. liquefied gas to 2031 to make up for lost local supply in long-term contracts with international clients. The UAE is getting some liquefied gas out of the Persian Gulf but it is not enough to cover the loss of Qatari gas.

  The shortfall in LNG supply resulting from Qatar’s force majeure was estimated at some 12.8 million tons annually by the country’s energy minister earlier this year. Many are pinning hopes on new U.S. capacity coming on stream soon, but “soon” does not mean “next week,” and this is a problem for gas importers ahead of winter. So, Asia and Europe are again locked in a race for a limited amount of supply.
  
  As in previous years, Europe is having to pay a hefty premium to draw cargoes from Asia. As noted by Reuters’ Russell, the affordability problem of most Asian LNG importers is helping secure the additional supply. After all, LNG spot prices are up 150% from February, before the United States and Israel began bombing Iran.
  
  A 150% price surge is no small potatoes for anyone, including the European Union. However, it has no other options. Norway gas imports are already at their peak, Russian pipeline gas is out due to sanctions, and Russian liquefied gas is about to follow come January. So, the EU is importing as much LNG as it can, despite the price. In fact, Kpler expects annual imports this year to break last year’s record of 125.20 million tons. Over the first eight months of the year, imports stood at 117.01 million tons, and there are still four months left—four months that will see higher LNG flows into European countries under Brussels' leadership. They will also see higher prices.
  
  Just how high the PNG import bill could go remains to be seen. The prospect of a sharp price rise is real and the result of a gamble that European gas buyers took earlier this year as they delayed the start of purchases for storage refilling, expecting a quick end to the Middle East war and a return of Qatari gas to markets. The longer the war continued, the slimmer the chances of that happening were, but European buyers continued delaying purchases—until it became clear LNG was not getting cheaper anytime soon. Now, they have no choice but to buy high and risk a price slump.
  
  This is what happened back in the winter of 2022, when European gas companies rushed to buy gas to secure winter supply, the winter turned out mild, demand was lower than expected, and prices dropped, resulting in billions in losses. This scenario is unlikely to repeat this winter, even if it is a mild one, because back in 2022, European countries still had access to some Russian pipeline gas. This year, this is no longer the case.
  
  Meanwhile, in Asia, China is doing with LNG what it did with oil earlier in the year. It is limiting its imports of the superchilled fuel from the spot market and staying with long-term fixed-price and oil-linked contracts—and it’s getting plenty of pipeline gas from Russia, as well. In a way, China is helping curb the effect of lost Qatari volumes for the rest of the world thanks to its energy supply diversification strategy.
  
  Those countries that can no longer afford to buy spot LNG will turn to coal and other sources of power generation. Those that can still afford to buy spot cargoes—even at the risk of experiencing growing financial pains—such as EU members, will be forced to do so after they shut down their coal power plants and, in Germany’s case, their nuclear power plants, too.

  As of Sep. 18, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which measures the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP), showed the following dynamics across the four major global bunkering hubs—Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: Fujairah remained the only overvalued port, although its MDI premium narrowed by $18. The other three hubs stayed undervalued. MDI discounts narrowed by $4 in Rotterdam but widened by $13 in Singapore and $4 in Houston. Undervaluation in both Rotterdam and Houston remained above the $100 mark.
  
  • VLSFO segment: Fujairah remained the only overvalued port, with its MDI premium declining by $3 but staying above the $100 threshold. The other three hubs remained undervalued. The MDI discount was unchanged in Rotterdam, while widening by $7 in Singapore and $8 in Houston. Rotterdam’s undervaluation and Fujairah’s overvaluation remained above the $100 mark.
  
  • MGO LS segment: All four ports remained undervalued. MDI discounts narrowed by $32 in Rotterdam, $38 in Fujairah and $6 in Houston, while widening by $3 in Singapore. Undervaluation in Rotterdam, Singapore and Houston remained above the $100 threshold.
  
  MABUX expects global bunker indices to continue downward movement on Sep. 21 as concerns over potential Middle East supply disruptions ease:
  380 HSFO: minus 5-10 USD/MT, VLSFO: minus 5-13 USD/MT, MGO LS: minus 5–15 USD/MT.
