US Oil Update: Futures Rally as Blockade of Hormuz Heightens Supply Risks

Crude oil futures rallied in midday trading on Monday as the US began a blockade on vessels transiting to and from Iranian ports, stoking fears of energy supply disruptions amid Tehran's threat to target Arabian Gulf ports in retaliation.Front-month West Texas Intermediate crude futures climbed by 3.78% to $93.02 per barrel, while Brent futures soared 4.23% to $99.24/bbl.Saxo Bank strategists said the disruption has reinforced concerns about supply, especially across middle distillates, as tight availability continues to underpin diesel and jet fuel markets.On Monday, the US Central Command began enforcing the Hormuz blockade at 10 a.m. ET, as Trump warned that any vessels attempting to breach the perimeter would be "immediately eliminated"."The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman," CENTCOM said in a social media post on X, adding that it will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.Trump ordered the blockade of the strategic waterway on Sunday after weekend peace talks between the US and Iran broke down.However, Iran pushed back against Trump administration threats, saying the US's blockade of the Strait would be "an act of piracy," as it reiterated plans to permanently control the critical chokepoint even after the conflict, according to media reports.China urged the international community to step up efforts to promote peace talks between Iran and the US, warning that the current truce remains fragile and must be preserved."China hopes the ceasefire will be kept, disputes will be resolved through political and diplomatic means rather than reigniting the flames of war, and conditions will be created for an early return of peace to the Gulf," China's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian said in a social media post.Meanwhile, three fuel tankers reportedly transited the Strait via routes close to Iran's coastline, despite threats of US blockade. Trump also claimed in a social media post that 34 vessels passed through the Hormuz on Sunday.The latest data from MarineTraffic showed that two tankers reversed course near the strategic waterway shortly after the start of the US blockade, with one vessel signaling China as its destination.On the supply front, crude production in the Arabian Gulf plunged in March due to the ongoing Middle East conflict, OPEC said in its monthly report.Iraq took the biggest hit, with production dropping from 4.2 million barrels per day in February to 1.6 million b/d in March, followed by Kuwait and the UAE, which registered month-over-month drops of 1.4 million b/d and 1.5 million b/d, respectively.The latest OPEC data showed that Saudi Arabia's production dropped by 2.3 million b/d, from 10.1 million b/d to 7.8 million b/d.

Update: WTI Oil Settles Below US$100 As U.S. And Iran Fail To Reach A Deal; U.S. Promises To Blockade Iran

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil tested the US$100 per barrel mark on Monday before falling back after the United States said it will blockade Iran's ports after weekend peace talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement to end hostilities.WTI crude oil for May delivery closed up US$2.51 to settle at US$99.08 per barrel, after earlier touching US$105.63, while June Brent oil was last seen up US$3.92 to US$99.12.Direct and indirect talks between Iran and the United States failed to reach an agreement, with Iran refusing to agree to U.S. demands that it end its uranium-enrichment program. In response to the unsuccessful negotiations, the United States said it will blockade Iran's ports and block any ships paying Iran for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by threatening attacks on ports in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman, according to the Wall Street Journal.Failure to reach a deal leaves the Strait of Hormuz closed to tanker traffic, continuing to block 20% of daily oil demand supplied by Persian Gulf nations. The largest-ever supply shock likely to be magnified by the oncoming high-demand summer season."Once again, high stakes negotiations between the US and Iran deadlocked over Washington's zero uranium enrichment demand, setting the stage for further escalation in the 6-week war and prolonged supply disruptions in advance of summer driving season," Helima Croft, Head of Global Commodity Strategy and MENA Research at RBC Capital Markets, wrote."In the absence of a negotiated deal, the White House is essentially left with the option of a strategic retreat that would leave Iran with de facto control over the Strait or a military escalation aimed ateliminating the Tehran tollbooth."

Canadian E&Ps Eye Buybacks, Debt Cuts as Q1 Cash Flow Rises 11%, RBC Says

Canadian exploration and production firms are set for a strong Q1 with cash flow per share up about 11% and free cash flow reaching roughly $1.1 billion, RBC Capital Markets said Monday.The earnings season begins Apr. 20 with PrairieSky Royalty reporting, as analysts focus on how companies deploy rising free cash flows amid stronger crude pricing, the note said.Near-term priorities are expected to center on share buybacks and debt reduction, while capital spending could increase later in the year if commodity prices remain supportive, according to the note.RBC said natural gas prices at Alberta Energy Company rebounded temporarily during the quarter but have since softened, as supply remained ample despite rising demand tied to LNG Canada.RBC's estimates currently sit above FactSet consensus, though differences are likely to narrow as analysts adjust forecasts to reflect updated commodity pricing, the report said.Cash flow per share is projected to rise about 11% over the quarter, supported by stronger oil prices alongside operational and company-specific factors, the note said.RBC said Q1 cash flow per share is seen rising about 9.6% to 11.2% over the quarter, with year-over-year changes ranging from a 5.3% decline to a 5.8% increase.Free cash flow for the quarter is estimated at about $1.15 billion, split between roughly $458 million from oil-focused firms and $688 million from gas-weighted producers, the report said.Producers are trading at about 4.8x and 4.4x 2026 and 2027 enterprise value to debt-adjusted cash flow, respectively, or 5.1x and 4.8x based on strip pricing, RBC said.Public filings indicate roughly $215 million in Q1 buybacks across the group, led by ARC Resources at about $135 million and Tourmaline at about $72 million, the note added.Production is projected to grow about 8% in 2026, with combined output across covered companies expected to increase 8% in 2026 and 5% in 2027, including merger-related impacts, RBC said.All companies are forecast to expand volumes, with top gains from Kelt Exploration at 26%, Paramount Resources at 21%, and Arc Resources at 10%, while further upside is possible if commodity prices remain strong.Spending is projected at $9.7 billion in 2026, generating about $8.2 billion in free cash flow, or $7.3 billion on strip pricing, RBC said.For 2027, spending is estimated at $10.9 billion, producing roughly $7.5 billion in free cash flow, or $6.4 billion on strip, with about 44% of 2026 free cash flow allocated to dividends, according to the note.

Equities Mostly Rise Intraday; Oil Prices Advance Amid Hormuz Blockade

US benchmark equity indexes were mostly higher intraday, while oil prices rose as traders kept an eye on developments in the Middle East amid a Washington blockade of maritime traffic around Iran's ports.The Nasdaq Composite was up 0.6% at 23,049.5 after midday Monday, while the S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 6,844.8.

The development came after the US and Iran failed to reach a deal during negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend, fueling concerns over an already fragile ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.US President Donald Trump said in a social media post Monday that 34 ships went through the Strait of Hormuz Sunday.Trump's remarks comes Iran has reportedly vowed to retaliate. The Iran-controlled strait has been effectively shut since the war began at the end of February."The fact the talks happened at all matters," Saxo Bank said in a report Monday. "There is still a chance negotiations restart, especially with some reports suggesting the two sides were not far apart on at least some points."Despite the failed peace talks, a two-week ceasefire announced last week still holds.Trump is mulling over limited strikes against Iran following the failed negotiations, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the situation."While the diplomatic setback is negative, it does not yet signal an automatic return to the worst-case scenario," Saxo said.The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries lowered its second-quarter oil demand forecast due to the Middle East conflict, but maintained its full-year estimates amid expectations for a rebound in the second half.US Treasury yields were lower intraday, with the 10-year rate down 1.6 basis points at 4.30% and the two-year rate dropping two basis points to 3.78%.In company news, Goldman Sachs (GS) posted first-quarter results above market estimates, while Chief Executive David Solomon said a protracted Middle East conflict could pose upside risks to inflation.

The company said it introduced artificial intelligence-focused updates to its utilities software suite at its customer edge summit, targeting improvements in billing, grid operations, and asset management.In economic news, US existing home sales decreased in March as softening job growth and weaker consumer confidence continued to deter potential buyers, data from the National Association of Realtors showed."We don't see much upside for sales over the next several months," Oxford Economics said in a note. "Given the backup in mortgage rates since the start of the war with Iran, we expect home sales to move sideways before starting to gradually rise at the end of the year."Gold was down 0.7% at $4,755.90 per troy ounce, while silver dropped 1.4% to $75.43 per ounce.

EMEA Oil Update: Crude Jumps as US Navy Moves to Blockade Strait of Hormuz

EMEA crude futures rallied in after-hours trading on Monday after President Trump ordered a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following the collapse of US-Iran peace talks, while Tehran threatened to strike Arabian Gulf ports in retaliation.Brent crude futures jumped 5% to $99.98 per barrel, while Murban oil futures climbed 6.24% to $104.26/bbl.Soojin Kim, a research analyst at MUFG, said energy prices spiked after the US-imposed Hormuz blockade, following failed peace negotiations in Islamabad.The US Central Command began enforcing the Hormuz blockade at 10.00 ET on Monday, as Trump warned that any vessels attempting to breach the perimeter would be "immediately eliminated.""The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman," US Central Command said in a social media post on X, adding that it will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.The latest data from MarineTraffic showed that two tankers reversed course near the strategic waterway shortly after the start of the US blockade, with one vessel signaling China as its destination.On Monday, Trump threatened strikes against Iranian navy ships that approach the US blockade, saying the vessels "will be immediately eliminated, using the same system of kill that we use against the drug dealers on boats at Sea".Erik Meyersson, chief EM Strategist at SEB Research, said that without progress on the diplomatic front, Hormuz will remain effectively closed, which would push oil prices higher.However, despite the threat, three fuel tankers reportedly transited the Strait via routes close to Iran's coastline, marking the first such movements since the blockade was announced.Trump, in a social media post, claimed that 34 vessels passed through the Hormuz on Sunday.Meanwhile, Iran said it would target all ports in and close to the Arabian Gulf if its own shipping hubs are threatened, heightening the standoff over the strategic waterway and raising concerns over global energy supply disruptions.Iran's armed forces said the US threat to block the Strait would be "an act of piracy," reiterating plans to permanently control the Hormuz after failed peace talks between the two nations."The disruption has reinforced concerns about supply, particularly across middle distillates. Tight availability continues to underpin diesel and jet fuel markets, with some European airports warning of potential shortages within three weeks if flows are not restored," Saxo Bank strategists said on Monday.On the supply front, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said crude production by DOC countries averaged 35.06 million barrels per day in March, down about 7.70 million b/d from February, when it averaged 42.72 million b/d.The latest data from the producer group showed that global oil demand growth for 2026 is expected to be 1.4 million b/d, unchanged from its forecasts last month.
