  Oil prices jump 4% as Houthis fire missiles at Saudi Arabia
  Oil prices jumped about 4% to a one-week high on Thursday after Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis fired missiles at Saudi Arabia and diplomatic talks between the US and Iran showed little sign of progress. Brent futures rose $4.10, or 4.0%, to $107.18 a... Read more Oil prices jumped about 4% to a one-week high on Thursday after Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis fired missiles at Saudi Arabia and diplomatic talks between the US and Iran showed little sign of progress.
  
  Brent futures rose $4.10, or 4.0%, to $107.18 a barrel at 11:09 a.m. EDT (1509 GMT), while US West Texas Intermediate crude rose $3.66, or 4.0%, to $95.82.
  
  After climbing about 8% over the past two days, Brent futures were on track to close at their highest since September 15. WTI was on track to rise for the first time in seven days after falling about 13% over the prior six days.
  
  Saudi Arabia intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis on Thursday, thwarting attacks on the southern province of Taif and Yanbu area on the Red Sea, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said.
  
  Iranian flights to Gulf neighbors, including travel hub Dubai, appeared to have been canceled on Thursday after a US deadline passed for global firms to halt work with Iran’s airlines, a major step in a campaign US President Donald Trump calls "economic D-Day."
  
  With the US-Israeli war against Iran largely stalemated for months on the battlefield, Washington has announced a shift in tactics to extend the reach of its financial sanctions by targeting companies from third countries that do business with Iranian firms, a practice known as "secondary sanctions".
  
  Iran threatened on Wednesday to retaliate against any neighboring countries that comply with the US ban on its flights, by making their airports "unusable".
  
  Iran and the United States remain far apart on how to end their war but diplomacy must continue, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Wednesday, after Iran’s president told the UN General Assembly that Tehran would never surrender to US pressure.
  
  Separately, Saudi Arabia is building up crude pumping volumes through its East-West Pipeline that runs to its Red Sea export hub of Yanbu, although crude tanker loadings have yet to resume, according to industry sources, satellite imagery and shipping data.
  
  DIESEL PRICES
  
  With diesel prices hitting record highs in recent weeks, high-level contacts between the European Union and the United States are ongoing amid a reported US plan to ban diesel exports that the EU believes would potentially have a negative impact on both sides.
  
  Politico reported that the US was preparing a 90-day ban on diesel exports amid a spike in prices ahead of the November midterm elections, though US Energy Secretary Chris Wright has disputed that.
  
  Analysts and market watchers have warned a US diesel export ban would do little to ease high energy prices and could worsen global supplies and further disrupt economies. US diesel futures were trading up over 5% in late morning trade on Thursday.
  
  BRENT PREMIUM OVER WTI
  
  The premium of Brent crude over WTI rose to its highest since May for a second day in a row on Thursday.

  A higher Brent premium over WTI means it is more economic for energy firms to send vessels to the US to pick up crude for export. But analysts noted the cost of chartering tankers has soared in recent months, resulting in a decline in US crude exports from record highs seen earlier this year.
  
  Weekly US crude exports were just 3.3 million barrels per day during the week ended September 18, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration, down from a weekly record high of 6.4 million bpd in April when the cost to charter a ship was much lower.

  Höegh Autoliners orders another six LNG dual-fuel vessels

Read more Norwegian shipping firm Höegh Autoliners has ordered six LNG dual-fuel pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) from China Merchants Heavy Industry in Jiangsu.
  
  The vessels are scheduled for delivery between 2029 and 2031 and will be capable of running on LNG and conventional marine fuels.
  
  They will also carry DNV class notations for future conversion to ammonia and methanol, although Höegh has not disclosed their level of readiness for either fuel.
  
  The company’s existing dual-fuel fleet comprises eight LNG-capable PCTCs either in operation or on order and four ammonia-capable PCTCs scheduled for delivery by 2027, according to its website.
  
  The latest six-vessel order brings the total dual-fuel PCTC fleet to 18, it said.
  
  Höegh also holds options to order another four vessels and has secured shipyard capacity for the construction of four more dual-fuel vessels in the future. If it proceeds with all eight, its fleet could grow to 26 vessels, it said. Source: ENGIИE

Read more Oil prices retreated on Thursday after climbing 4% in the previous session as Iran said it remained open to diplomacy to end the US-Iran war, though the two countries remain far apart on ways to do so.
  
  Brent crude futures fell 92 cents, or 0.9%, to $102.16 a barrel at 0400 GMT, while West Texas Intermediate futures eased 77 cents, or 0.8%, to $91.39.
  
  Iran and the United States remain divided over how to bring an end to their war, but diplomacy must continue, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Wednesday, after Iran’s president told the UN General Assembly that Tehran would never surrender to US pressure.
  
  The official said Tehran was reviewing Washington’s response to its peace proposals, which prioritise lifting a US naval blockade on Iranian ports and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  "Oil is falling because the market is unwinding part of its geopolitical risk premium as Gulf supply recovers and hopes of a US-Iran diplomatic breakthrough grow," said Priyanka Sachdeva, head of market insights at Phillip Nova.
  
  "Brent retains a larger geopolitical and sea-route premium because international crude is more directly exposed to Middle East and Hormuz disruption, while WTI benefits more from relatively insulated US supply," Sachdeva added.
  
  Earlier on Wednesday, Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei said the Strait of Hormuz would not be reopened while Iran’s conditions are not met.
  
  US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Wednesday that a deal with Iran would involve hard work over a period of time, adding that President Donald Trump also had military options.
  
  Traders also evaluated possible curbs on diesel exports. Ultra-low-sulfur diesel futures were down about 5% in midday trading after website Politico said the Trump administration was preparing plans for a 90-day diesel ban, but the White House denied this.
  
  US Energy Secretary Chris Wright had said earlier on Wednesday that a diesel export ban would not work even though Trump said he would support it.
  
  Analysts and market watchers have warned that such a move would do little to ease high energy prices and could worsen global supplies and further disrupt economies.
  
  US distillate stockpiles including diesel and heating oil fell by 428,000 barrels to 107.4 million barrels last week, Energy Information Administration data showed.
  
  Meanwhile, US crude inventories rose by 3 million barrels to 426.4 million barrels last week, though analysts polled by Reuters had expected a 641,000-barrel draw. [EIA/S] Source: Reuters/Investing.com

Read more The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO – showed mixed movements on Sep. 23:
  
  380 HSFO: USD/MT: 687.26 (+2.77)
  VLSFO: USD/MT: 837.91 (-3.17)
  MGO: USD/MT: 1 531.24 (-18.01)
  
  As of Sep. 23, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which tracks the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP), indicated the following dynamics across the four major global bunkering hubs—Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: Fujairah remained the only overvalued port, with its MDI premium increasing by another $7. The other three hubs continued to be undervalued. MDI discounts declined by $10 in Rotterdam, $21 in Singapore, and $37 in Houston. Undervaluation in both Rotterdam and Houston stayed above the $100 mark.
  
  • VLSFO segment: Fujairah remained the only overvalued port, with its MDI premium widening by $15. The other three hubs continued to be undervalued. MDI discounts narrowed further by $13 in Rotterdam, $21 in Singapore and $32 in Houston. Rotterdam's MDI discount moved below the $100 mark, while Fujairah's overvaluation remained above this threshold.
  
  • MGO LS segment: Fujairah was again the only overvalued port in this bunker segment, with its MDI premium increasing by another $17. The other three hubs remained undervalued. MDI discounts narrowed by $47 in Rotterdam and $5 in Singapore, while Houston's discount widened by $14. Undervaluation in Rotterdam and Singapore remained above the $100 mark, while Houston also moved beyond this threshold.
  
  MABUX expects the global bunker market to resume upward movement on Sep. 24 amid persistent uncertainty over U.S.–Iran diplomatic progress and the outlook for Middle Eastern crude flows:
  380 HSFO: plus 5-10 USD/MT, VLSFO: plus 5-10 USD/MT, MGO LS: plus 3–15 USD/MT.
