  Oil prices surge after Trump says interim Iran peace deal is "over"
  Oil prices rose sharply on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump also said that he believed a fragile truce between Washington and Tehran was "over" following a fresh exchange of attacks across the Persian Gulf. At 06:48 ET (10:48 GMT), Brent... Read more Oil prices rose sharply on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump also said that he believed a fragile truce between Washington and Tehran was "over" following a fresh exchange of attacks across the Persian Gulf.
  
  At 06:48 ET (10:48 GMT), Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, had risen by 5.2% to $78.01 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures gained 5.1% to $74.00 a barrel.
  
  Speaking at a NATO summit in Turkey, Trump accused Tehran of double-dealing and cast doubt around the status of the agreement.
  
  "We make a deal, and everyone’s agreed. No nuclear weapons. We make a deal. They go outside, talk to the press, they say we never even talked about it. There’s something wrong with them. They’re cuckoo. As far as I’m concerned, it’s over," Trump said at a NATO summit in Turkey.
  
  Earlier, Iranian armed forces said on Wednesday they had attacked U.S. military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain, in retaliation to American strikes on targets in Iran and Washington’s decision to revoke a sanctions waiver on Iranian oil.
  
  In a statement cited by Iran’s state news agency, the paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said it had struck 85 U.S. military sites and shot down an American MQ-9 drone.
  
  The Pentagon previously said its strikes were a response to recent Iranian attacks on commercial vessels attempting to traverse the strait, a vital conduit for global oil shipping. The waterway partially straddles Iran’s southern coast. U.S. Central Command also claimed that it had struck more than 80 targets in Iran, as well as more than 60 IRGC small boats in and around the strait.
  
  Meanwhile, the U.S. withdrew a key concession allowing Iran to sell oil internationally – a move that could herald tighter crude markets in the coming weeks.
  
  Tehran has not claimed responsibility for attacks on Tuesday on the ships off the coast of Oman, which included a Saudi oil tanker and a Qatari vessel laden with liquefied natural gas.
  
  The tit-for-tat strikes have threatened to derail talks over a permanent agreement to wind down hostilities, as well as a nascent rebound in oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Negotiations are now reportedly paused for funeral ceremonies honoring former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a barrage at the onset of a joint U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran in late February.
  
  Crude had tumbled to pre-war lows in June after the U.S. and Iran agreed to a framework peace deal, which also saw improving ship flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for around a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas.
  
  But the latest round of hostilities stands to undermine the agreement, with future peace talks between the two countries now appearing uncertain.
  
  "A return to full-scale U.S.-Iran conflict appears unlikely given growing U.S. political pressure to keep oil prices contained ahead of the November midterm elections. However, there is still no clear path to fully securing the Strait of Hormuz," OCBC analysts wrote in a note.
  
  OPEC production hike, U.S. inventories in focus
  Renewed supply concerns in the Middle East largely overshadowed signs of increasing supply elsewhere, after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies agreed to increase production during a weekend meeting.
  
  U.S. inventory data due later on Wednesday will also be watched for more cues on supplies in the world’s biggest oil consumer, especially after a sustained drawdown in stockpiles due to disruptions caused by the Iran war.
  
  American Petroleum Institute data showed U.S. inventories had a smaller-than-expected draw of 0.399 million barrels last week. Source: Investing.com/ Reuters

Read more Oil prices rose sharply in early trade on Wednesday after the U.S. military said it launched fresh strikes against Iran and reimposed sanctions on the country’s oil over attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  West Texas Intermediate crude futures jumped 2.8% to $72.28 a barrel by 19:04 ET (20:26 GMT). Brent surged 2.8% to $76.25 a barrel.
  
  US launches fresh Iran strikes over Hormuz attacks
  U.S. Central Command (Centcom) said it had begun a series of strikes against Iran, aimed at imposing what it described as “heavy costs” for Tehran’s attacks on commercial shipping.
  
  “The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz,” Centcom said in a statement, accusing Iran of violating the ceasefire.
  
  The resumption in hostilities and signs of more shipping trouble in Hormuz rekindled concerns over supply disruptions in the Middle East.
  
  The attacks also came shortly after the U.S. withdrew a key concession allowing Iran to sell oil internationally– a move that could herald tighter oil markets in the coming weeks.
  
  Iran had reportedly attacked vessels attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz this week, raising tensions with the U.S. and sparking more uncertainty over the status of the critical waterway.
  
  Crude had tumbled to pre-war lows in June after the U.S. and Iran agreed to a framework peace deal, which also saw improving ship flows through Hormuz.
  
  But the latest round of hostilities stands to undermine the agreement, with future peace talks between the two countries now appearing uncertain.

  India Could Return To Iranian Crude If U.S. Extends Sanctions Waiver
  Indian state-held refiners are considering buying Iranian crude oil if the United States extends the waiver on Iran’s oil sales beyond August or further eases restrictions on that trade. As part of the 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran,... Read more Indian state-held refiners are considering buying Iranian crude oil if the United States extends the waiver on Iran’s oil sales beyond August or further eases restrictions on that trade.
  
  As part of the 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran, the United States in mid-June authorized the production, delivery, and sale of crude oil, petrochemical products, and refined oil products of Iranian origin through August 21, 2026.
  
  The temporary U.S. waiver has opened the door for Iranian oil sales in the Asian region, but refiners are not really rushing to snap up Iran’s crude, uncertain how much longer these conditions would apply.
  
  India, which has always aimed to steer clear of any controversy with the U.S. over buying Iran’s sanctioned oil, is now tentatively reconsidering a return to buying crude from Tehran.
  
  Amid talks with companies marketing Iran’s currently de-sanctioned oil, Indian state-owned refiners are preparing to potentially purchase Iranian crude, if the U.S. extends the waiver, anonymous sources with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg on Tuesday.
  
  The refiners aren’t in a rush to buy Iran’s oil immediately. First, that’s because Indian refiners had hastened to stock up on non-Middle Eastern crude for July and August before the MOU was signed and the Strait of Hormuz was tentatively opened.
  
  Then, the uncertainty over how long the current waiver would last is also preventing India’s state-controlled refiners from flocking to Iranian crude.
  
  Still, if the discounts are too tempting, some Iranian cargoes could make their way to India in the current window until August 21, according to Bloomberg’s sources.
  
  Iran has been pitching its crude to buyers in Asia for weeks, but it appears that there is little appetite for Iranian barrels outside China. That’s also because the prices of Middle Eastern crude from other Gulf producers have crumbled after the MOU amid expectations of a market flooded with Saudi, Iraqi, Kuwaiti, and other crude now that the Strait of Hormuz is operational – to some extent – again.

  Ugandan Farmers Sue to Block $5 Billion East Africa Oil Pipeline

The $5 billion East African Crude Oil... Read more A group of Ugandan farmers on Tuesday filed a case in the UK High Court against the developer of a $5-billion oil pipeline in East Africa, seeking to stop the nearly completed project on environmental grounds.
  
  The $5 billion East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), which will transport crude from Uganda’s Albertine Graben to Tanzania’s Tanga port, is nearly completed, after years of delays and controversies surrounding the project. The development of EACOP is being led by French supermajor TotalEnergies.
  
  However, EACOP has drawn environmental scrutiny for years for its potential impact on ecosystems and communities along the route. Supporters argue that the project could be transformative for East Africa, creating jobs, boosting infrastructure investment, and strengthening regional energy security.
  
  Opponents, including the Ugandan farmers who filed the lawsuit against the UK-registered EACOP Ltd, contend that the pipeline, the oil production, and the route would harm water resources in the area, as well as wildlife and biodiversity.
  
  The 1,443-kilometer pipeline will enable Uganda to export its oil for the first time. Production from the Albertine Rift Basin, where TotalEnergies and China’s CNOOC are developing the Tilenga and Kingfisher oilfields, is expected to peak at around 200,000 barrels per day.
  
  The oil pipeline is expected to bring crude from the Lake Albert project in Uganda to the international oil market. It is designed to transport 216,000 barrels of crude oil per day, with a ramp-up of up to 246,000 bpd, Uganda says.
  
  The pipeline construction could be completed as soon as this month, with first shipments late this year or in early 2027.
  
  The plaintiffs hope a successful lawsuit could stop the pipeline from becoming operational.
  
  “The case seeks remedies that could go to the heart of the project’s commercial viability, including an injunction to stop oil being transported through the pipeline, as well as compensation and other legal relief under Ugandan law,” the Ugandan farmers said in a petition through law firm Leigh Day cited by Bloomberg.

  Saudi Arabia Eyes Major Red Sea Pipeline Expansion to Bypass Hormuz

  The kingdom is considering expanding the capacity of its East-West crude pipeline by as much as 2 million barrels per day, according to Reuters. It’s a move that would allow more Saudi—and potentially neighboring Gulf—oil to reach global markets without passing through the world's most strategically vulnerable chokepoint.
  
  The discussions are still preliminary.
  
  After five months of war, tanker disruptions, and Iranian threats to commercial shipping, Gulf producers are treating the Strait as a liability to be reduced.
  
  The existing East-West pipeline, built in the early 1980s, can move up to 7 million bpd from the kingdom's eastern oil fields to the Red Sea export terminal at Yanbu. During the Hormuz crisis, it became Saudi Arabia's most valuable piece of energy infrastructure, allowing millions of barrels to bypass the Persian Gulf altogether.
  
  Now Riyadh appears ready to double down.
  
  According to Reuters, Saudi Arabia has already held preliminary discussions with neighboring producers, including Kuwait, about expanding the system. Kuwait has no alternative export route, while Iraq's pipeline to Turkey remains plagued by outages and political disputes. Qatar, meanwhile, is reportedly studying whether its LNG exports could also benefit from alternative routes through Saudi Arabia.
  
  The project would take years and cost billions of dollars, but recent events have fundamentally changed the calculus.
  
  Traffic through Hormuz has recovered since the U.S.-Iran framework agreement in June, but commercial shipping remains well below pre-war levels. Independent tanker operators continue to face elevated war-risk insurance costs, while Iran has repeatedly insisted it intends to regulate vessel movements and has floated the idea of charging ships for services in the waterway once negotiations conclude.

  Drone Strike Shuts Russia's Largest Refinery as Fuel Shortages Worsen
  Ukraine has landed one of its most consequential blows yet against Russia's energy sector, knocking out the country's largest oil refinery just as Moscow is scrambling to contain a widening fuel crisis. Industry sources told Reuters that Gazprom Neft's... Read more Ukraine has landed one of its most consequential blows yet against Russia's energy sector, knocking out the country's largest oil refinery just as Moscow is scrambling to contain a widening fuel crisis.
  
  Industry sources told Reuters that Gazprom Neft's Omsk refinery halted operations after a Ukrainian drone strike damaged key processing units at the 440,000-barrel-per-day facility. The refinery is Russia's largest gasoline producer, making the timing particularly painful for the Kremlin.
  
  According to the sources, the attack set fire to the CDU-10 crude distillation unit, which accounts for about 38% of the refinery's processing capacity. A second major unit, CDU-11, was also shut down after damage to supporting infrastructure, although it could reportedly return to service sooner.
  
  The refinery immediately stopped offering gasoline and diesel on Russia's St. Petersburg commodity exchange.
  
  A few months ago, Moscow insisted fuel shortages were isolated incidents. Then came export restrictions on gasoline and jet fuel. Then President Vladimir Putin publicly admitted motorists and businesses were struggling to find fuel, convening an emergency meeting with oil executives and ordering round-the-clock government monitoring of supplies.
  
  Now Russia's biggest refinery has gone dark.
  
  The latest strike comes as Ukraine continues expanding its long-range drone campaign against Russia's refining network. What began with attacks on export terminals and refineries near the front has steadily moved deeper into Russian territory. Omsk, in western Siberia, sits thousands of kilometers from Ukraine.
  
  The fallout extends well beyond Russia's borders.
  
  Central Asian countries that rely heavily on Russian fuel have already reported shortages and higher prices. Uzbekistan has cut some flights because of jet fuel shortages, while Kazakhstan has explored fuel imports from China as insurance against further disruptions.
  
  Russia has even begun looking abroad for supplies of its own. Last week, Reuters reported that Moscow was preparing to import jet fuel from Asia—an extraordinary reversal for one of the world's largest oil producers.
  
  Ukraine isn't trying to destroy Russia's oil industry. It doesn't have to. It only needs to keep enough refineries offline long enough to turn fuel into one more battlefield—and one more headache for the Kremlin. Source: Oilprice.com

Read more The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated that crude oil inventories in the United States fell by 399,000 barrels in the week ending July 3. In the week prior, US crude oil inventories fell by 6.072 million barrels.
  
  Although commercial crude oil inventories excluding the SPR have been falling rapidly for more than two months, shedding almost 60 million barrels over the last twelve weeks, US crude inventories are only down 8.6 million barrels so far this year, according to API data, kept in check by draws from the SPR.
  
  For the week ending July 3, another 6.2 million barrels left the SPR, bringing the new total to 325.7 million barrels—lower than the 2023 low reached during the Biden Administration’s huge drawdown and the lowest level in over four decades. SPR inventories are now 405 million barrels shy of maximum capacity.
  
  US production fell to 13.810 million bpd for the week ending June 26, down from 13.819 million bpd in the week prior, according to the latest EIA data, and up 377,000 bpd from a year earlier.
  
  At 3:34 pm ET on Tuesday, Brent crude was trading up on the day at $76.07 (+5.67%) after a series of attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  WTI was also trading up on the day, by $3.68 per barrel (+5.37%) at $72.23, which is a roughly $2 per barrel increase from last Tuesday.
  
  Gasoline inventories fell this week, by 2.929 million barrels in the week ending July 3. In the week prior, gasoline inventories decreased by 2.106 million barrels. In the week prior, gasoline inventories were already 7% below the five-year average for this time of year, according to the latest EIA data.
  
  Distillate inventories fell by 1.801 million barrels, after gaining 2.9 million barrels in the week prior. Distillate inventories were already 8% below the five-year average as of the week ending June 26, the latest EIA data shows.
  
  Cushing inventory—the inventory kept at the delivery hub for the WTI Crude futures contract—fell 69,000 barrels over the reporting period after rising 503,000 barrels in the week prior. Source: Oilprice.com
