EMEA Oil Update: Oil Benchmarks Rebound as Supply Concerns Linger

Crude oil futures rebounded on Tuesday after sliding sharply in the last session as persistent shipping bottlenecks in the Strait of Hormuz and sliding Saudi exports underscored ongoing supply vulnerabilities.Brent crude futures gained by 1.1% to $84.72 per barrel, while Murban crude futures added 0.9% to $81.77/bbl."Oil sold off sharply yesterday on optimism that a Middle East deal might be within reach. However, markets may be getting ahead of themselves once again," ING analysts said.Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports slipped in July as security risks in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea disrupted tanker movements, Bloomberg reported on Monday.Commercial vessel traffic remained severely constrained, with MarineTraffic data showing just nine crossings through the Strait of Hormuz on August 2, down from 23 on July 31, while activity via the Bab el-Mandeb also eased.ING highlighted that Iran's public denials of talks and President Trump's warning of renewed escalation leave ample room for market volatility.US President Donald Trump stated on Monday that negotiations with Iran are continuing, describing the diplomatic push as Tehran's "last chance" while prioritizing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.Trump noted that talks are ongoing at the request of Iran and regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, despite Tehran's earlier denials.Meanwhile, regulatory and policy shifts emerged in Asia as India raised windfall taxes on petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel exports.Additionally, state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation announced it will reserve half of its planned 1.75 million-metric-ton oil storage facility in Mangaluru for national strategic petroleum reserves.Meanwhile, Trump publicly criticized energy giants ExxonMobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) on Monday for making "too much money" off higher fuel prices following robust second-quarter earnings, calling on the companies to return capital to the public.

Trump Calls Iran Talks 'Last Chance' as Strait of Hormuz Reopening Tops Agenda

US President Donald Trump said Monday that Iran negotiations are continuing after he delayed planned military action, calling the talks Tehran's "last chance" while prioritizing reopening the Strait of Hormuz.The president made the remarks while speaking to reporters after signing an executive order at the White House.Trump said US and Iranian officials currently remain in talks despite Tehran's earlier public denials. "We're talking, and we're talking at the request of Iran, backed by Saudi Arabia, backed by UAE, and backed by Qatar in particular, but others also," he said.He said the US had prepared a major military strike before postponing the operation after Iran sought negotiations."We were going to hit them very hard yesterday [Sunday]...," he said, adding, "... this is a last chance for them to sign a good document."Trump said he still has military options available but prefers diplomacy. "I want to give them every last chance before decapitation," he added.Trump said reopening the Strait of Hormuz remains the immediate priority. "We're talking about the Strait... having it open literally by tomorrow, completely open, and that's phase one," he said.He said negotiations would then shift to Iran's nuclear program. "The second phase will be the denuclearization and that'll take a little while," Trump said.Asked whether Iran could impose transit charges in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump rejected the idea. "I'm not going to let them charge," he said."If anybody's going to charge, we'll charge," Trump said, adding the US has "total control" of the waterway.Trump also linked a potential agreement with lower energy prices. "You're going to see oil, when we're finished with Iran, you're going to see the prices drop through the floor," he said.He criticized major US oil producers for reporting strong earnings. "They're making too much money... they better cut the retail price, the consumer price," Trump said of Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX).Trump also urged the UK to expand North Sea oil production, arguing the country could sharply reduce energy costs."You could cut them [prices] in half. You could give away free energy if you'd open up the North Sea ...," he said.

Trump Criticizes Iran's Negotiation Stance, Asserts US Control of Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump on Monday criticized Iran's handling of nuclear negotiations, saying Tehran sought talks while publicly denying them, and asserted US control over the Strait of Hormuz, according to posts on Truth Social.Trump criticized Iran's leadership for what he described as conflicting signals on negotiations, saying Tehran publicly claims it is only dealing with Oman.He also dismissed Iran's claims that it controls the Strait of Hormuz, saying the US Navy already controls the waterway through what he called the "United States wall of steel," he said.Trump said the US controls what enters Iran. "Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a deal, or total surrender, is accomplished."The US president reiterated his administration's position on Iran's nuclear program, writing, "It is very simple, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon!" he said.Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ground forces commander General Mohammad Karami reportedly said that the IRGC is ready to face any threat."With intelligence superiority, operational readiness, ... technology and modern sciences, we are prepared to deliver a decisive response to any threat posed by foreign adversaries and terrorist groups," according to an X post by Iran's PressTV, citing Karami.In a separate Truth Social post, Trump credited his administration for the US oil industry's recovery while discussing Chevron (CVX) chairman and chief executive Mike Wirth's recent Fox News interview, saying the administration's policies helped Chevron and other oil companies return to Venezuela.Trump cited Chevron's return to Venezuela as an example, saying the company is back "far bigger and stronger than ever before, expecting to make a fortune!" and added that other oil companies are benefiting as well.Trump also urged energy producers to reduce prices for consumers, writing, "... get your consumer (retail!) oil prices down, now!" he said.Price: $194.77, Change: $-2.06, Percent Change: -1.05%
