  Oil prices steady at pre-Iran war levels

Brent... Read more Oil prices were stable around pre-Iran war levels on Monday as Saudi Arabia slashed its official selling prices and after OPEC+ agreed to further increase its output targets from August, while exports from key producers via the Strait of Hormuz are recovering.
  
  Brent crude futures fell 4 cents, or 0.06%, to $72.08 a barrel at 1322 GMT after settling 0.45% higher on Friday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $68.62 a barrel, down 7 cents, or 0.1%.
  
  There was no settlement for WTI on Friday as U.S. markets were closed for a public holiday.
  
  Both contracts were little changed last week after mostly falling over the past few weeks back to levels last seen in late February, prior to the start of the war.
  
  "The downward move is still influenced by earlier stranded tankers managing to exit the Gulf, resulting in an increase in oil on water," UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said.
  
  Investors kept a close eye on talks between the U.S. and Iran over the fate of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz while keeping tabs on the recovery in Gulf oil exports.
  
  The United Arab Emirates raised its crude output to near record highs above 3.8 million barrels per day in June after it quit OPEC to escape production caps, two people familiar with production data said on Monday.
  
  Saudi Arabia has set the official selling price for its flagship Arab Light crude to Asia in August at $1.50 a barrel below the Oman/Dubai average, marking the biggest monthly cut in the price since Reuters records began in 2003.
  
  The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies including Russia agreed on Sunday to further increase output targets by 188,000 barrels per day from August, on top of similar increases for June and July.
  
  However, the increase has remained largely on paper because of the Iran war, which closed the strait to tanker traffic for key OPEC producers, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq, capping their output.
  
  "They are selling into a falling market, offering little hope of an imminent price recovery," said PVM analyst Tamas Varga. "However, lower oil prices will undoubtedly stimulate demand further down the line."
  
  Elsewhere, Ukraine’s military said on Monday it struck Russia’s largest oil refinery in Omsk, as well as facilities in Yaroslavl and Leningrad regions overnight. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Oil drifts down after OPEC+ agrees to raise output targets

Read more Oil prices inched lower on Monday after OPEC+ agreed to further increase its output targets from August while exports from key producers via the Strait of Hormuz are recovering, potentially adding to global supplies.
  
  Brent crude futures fell 34 cents, or 0.47%, to $71.78 a barrel by 0408 GMT after settling 0.45% higher on Friday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $68.49 a barrel, down 20 cents, or 0.29%. There was no settlement for WTI on Friday as U.S. markets were closed ahead of the Independence Day holiday on Saturday.
  
  Both contracts were little changed last week, after mostly falling over the past few weeks, as investors kept a close eye on talks between the United States and Iran over the fate of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz while keeping tabs on the recovery in Gulf oil exports.
  
  "Coming off the U.S. long weekend, traders are sitting tight and waiting to see whether U.S.-Iran relations will be cordial or volatile this week," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.
  
  The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies including Russia agreed on Sunday to further increase output targets by 188,000 barrels per day from August, on top of similar increases for June and July.
  
  However, the increase has remained largely on paper because of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, which closed the Strait of Hormuz to tanker traffic for key OPEC producers, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq, capping their output.
  
  "The number was largely in line with expectation," IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said.
  
  "With UAE leaving and when quotas are probably still not being met due to production still ramping up after the conflict - I’m not sure they mean much at the moment."
  
  The United Arab Emirates quit OPEC as of May 1.
  
  Gulf members have begun reviving supplies shut during the Iran war and are increasing exports.
  
  OPEC oil output in June rose by 3.3 million barrels per day month-on-month to 19.43 million bpd, a Reuters survey found, recovering from its lowest in more than two decades.
  
  Gulf oil exports in June jumped more than 3 million barrels from May to exceed 10 million barrels per day, although the volume remained 40% below pre-war levels, data showed.
  
  In addition, oil shipments from Russia’s western ports hit a record high in June and are expected to maintain that level in July as its refineries have been damaged in drone attacks by Ukraine that have forced Moscow to boost crude exports, industry sources said. Source: Oilprice.com

  Dip in U.S. LNG Imports to EU Spells Trouble for Trade Deal

Read more For two years, the European Union has been the biggest regional buyer of U.S. liquefied natural gas. Sanctions on Russia, including a ban on LNG purchased from 2027, have prompted the pivot, actively encouraged by the second Trump administration. But last month, Europe shunned American liquefied gas because it was too expensive. This will be a problem for the trade deal that just went into effect.
  
  Last July, President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen signed a trade deal framework that would ensure preferential treatment for U.S. goods sold in the EU, notably including energy commodities. Indeed, Von der Leyen made a commitment on behalf of the 27 members of the EU for the purchase of $750 billion worth of American energy commodities over a period of three years. It need not be said that most of these purchases would be made up of liquefied gas, which the European Union continues to need in considerable volumes despite politicians’ and climate activists’ best efforts.
  
  That this would be quite a challenge was clear from the beginning: $750 billion, or $250 billion annually, is quite a large sum that would buy a lot of oil and gas—indeed, all of the oil, gas, and coal that the U.S. has available for export, per Reuters’s Clyde Russell. Yet, leaving aside what is physically possible, the EU would also have a financial difficulty in meeting its trade deal obligations, as suggested by the latest import numbers.
  
  In June, European gas buyers took in less than half of all U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas. This was the first month in two years that Europeans had bought so little U.S. LNG, Reuters reported this week, citing data from LSEG. The reason was price. Europe’s benchmark TTF price averaged $13.19 per million British thermal units last month. In contrast, the Asian LNG benchmark averaged $17.33 per mmBtu—which is why most U.S. LNG exports went to Asia and to Egypt, which was in urgent need of gas. There is, however, a plot twist. The EU is also in urgent need of gas.
  
  The European Union ended last heating season with much lower levels of remaining gas in storage than the five-year average because last winter was not as mild as the previous two. Now, the bloc faces the lowest gas in storage levels for next winter in 15 years, the Financial Times reported in late June. The report attributed the shortfall to the Middle East war and the disruption of supply from Qatar.
  
  “While the announced US-Iran deal has pushed down gas prices and raised hopes for a flood of Mideast Gulf supply returning to the market, the longer we see constrained LNG supply, the lower start-of-winter European gas stocks will be and the bigger the chance of winter price spikes.” Argus Media analyst Natasha Fielding said, as quoted by the FT.
  
  Yet there is plenty of U.S. liquefied gas, which the European Union can—and must—buy. However, there have been certain misgivings about that, despite the trade deal. Several U.S. energy industry executives told Bloomberg last month that European gas buyers are steering clear of long-term supply deals, for fear of developing an excessive dependence on one single gas supplier, essentially replacing the dependence on Russia with a dependence on the United States.
  
  Officials in Brussels have the same misgivings. Their big problem is that there will always be a dependence on large suppliers, and that the EU has a commitment to become even more dependent on the biggest one. Meanwhile, European gas buyers have been gobbling up every cargo of Russian liquefied gas they could get their hands on, ahead of the 2027 ban on these purchases. As the ban comes into effect, the reliance on U.S. liquefied gas will inevitably increase. According to one pro-transition think tank, the EU will come to depend on the United States for up to 80% of its LNG imports. That would be up from 58% as of last year, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis warned last month.
  
  It is worth noting, of course, that the European Union does not only rely on liquefied gas. It also imports pipeline gas from Norway, Algeria, and Azerbaijan—but these are not enough to cover demand, especially after the Nord Stream conduit went out of business due to sabotage. To make matters even more complicated, the EU is effectively preventing Norway from boosting gas production that could then boost its exports to the bloc. Brussels is staunchly opposed to new gas drilling in the Arctic, where Norway’s untapped resources sit.
  
  Until such time as the European Union’s leadership gets its priorities straight and decides whether it would rather become extremely dependent on a single gas supplier or diversify with more local supply, chances are the dependence will remain rather overwhelming. Source: Oilprice.com

  MABUX: Global bunker market to shift into a slight upward correction on Jul. 06.
  The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO — showed a slight downward movement on Jul. 03: 380 HSFO: USD/MT: 542.85 (-4.73) VLSFO: USD/MT: 688.55 (-8.30) MGO: USD/MT: 1 062.12 (-26.07) As... Read more The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO — showed a slight downward movement on Jul. 03:
  
  380 HSFO: USD/MT: 542.85 (-4.73)
  VLSFO: USD/MT: 688.55 (-8.30)
  MGO: USD/MT: 1 062.12 (-26.07)
  
  As of Jul. 03, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which monitors the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP) — indicated the following trends across the four major global bunkering hubs: Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: All four hubs remained undervalued. Discounts widened by $4 in Rotterdam, $11 in Singapore, $9 in Fujairah, and $25 in Houston. Singapore's MDI moved above the $100 threshold once again.
  
  • VLSFO segment: Rotterdam, Singapore, and Fujairah remained overvalued. Premiums narrowed by $15 in Rotterdam, $7 in Singapore, and $58 in Fujairah. Houston continued to be the only undervalued port, with its discount widening by $3. Rotterdam's MDI moved closer to the 100% correlation level between MBP and DBP.
  
  • MGO LS segment: Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston were undervalued. Discounts narrowed by $10 in Rotterdam, $3 in Singapore, and $9 in Houston. Fujairah stayed overvalued, with its premium unchanged and its MDI remaining below the $100 threshold.
  
  Following the recent decline, the bunker market appears technically oversold and is likely to see a modest upward correction, while the broader price trend remains under pressure amid comfortable fuel availability and subdued crude sentiment. MABUX expects the global bunker market to post a slight rebound on Jul. 06: plus 1-3 USD/MT, VLSFO: plus 1–3 USD/MT, MGO LS: plus 2–5 USD/MT.
