Treasury Wine Estates Faces Limited Impact from RNDC Wind Down, Jefferies Says

Treasury Wine Estates' (ASX:TWE) exposure to RNDC's "not surprising" wind down is expected to be modest after its distribution services were reduced since last year, Jefferies said in a note on Tuesday.The investment firm said the limited impact could result in any claim against Treasury Wine Estates being less than $1.6 million, as RNDC currently distributes the winemaker's products in only five states compared with more than 20 States last year following its exit from California.In contrast to RNDC, Breakthru is performing better, while Reyes has strong interest in growing its wine distribution business.The brokerage sees value in Treasury Wine Estates but remains cautious due to risks in the US and China markets, including high inventory levels.Jefferies maintained a hold rating and price target of AU$5.00 on Treasury Wine Estates.

IGO's Greenbushes Performs in Line Despite Plant Disruption, Jefferies Says

IGO's (ASX:IGO) lithium asset Greenbushes reported fourth-quarter results broadly in line with expectations, though production came in 2% below estimates after a fire at the CGP3 plant in June interrupted a strong production ramp-up, Jefferies said in a note on Tuesday.The company's flagship mine Greenbushes, however, remains strong on the back of controlled costs, improved pricing and the operation staying within annual guidance, the investment firm said.Kwinana facility had a weak quarter, with production falling sharply to 897 tonnes due to planned shutdown, coming in 53% below Jefferies estimate.An additional shutdown scheduled in the first quarter is expected to further hurt production.

US Oil Update: Futures Settle Lower as Optimism Builds Over US-Iran Talks

Crude futures settled lower in after-hours trading on Tuesday as growing optimism over renewed peace talks between the US and Iran eased fears of prolonged supply disruptions in the Middle East.Front-month West Texas Intermediate crude futures dropped 2.6% to $80.50 per barrel, while Brent futures retreated 3.9% to $84.93/bbl.Soojin Kim, research analyst at MUFG, said that crude fell as signs of potential US-Iran negotiations eased fears of prolonged supply disruptions.On Tuesday, Iran's Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi hosted separate calls with his Saudi and Omani counterparts to review bilateral and regional issues and stress stronger cooperation and joint diplomacy to restore stability and address US actions in the Strait of Hormuz.Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said that talks with Oman over safe shipping via the Hormuz have made good progress, but no change has been made in the status of transit through the strategic waterway.Earlier on Monday, Baghaei said on Monday that while "it's possible that mediators share messages from the US side about current developments," no formal negotiations are currently taking place.Meanwhile, President Trump, who reportedly called off US military strikes against Iranian targets after a two-week campaign, said that there were "good talks" underway with Iran but threatened to restart strikes unless negotiations deliver."There's a good chance that something could happen - and if it does, good. If it doesn't, we go back to what we were doing two days ago," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday.Gelber & Associates strategists said that after recovering more than $10 from June's lows, crude now appears to be testing support rather than reversing trend, with the next move likely hinging on whether physical fundamentals strengthen enough to justify another push higher.On the supply front, OPEC+ is projected to pause further increases to its oil production quotas after approving a final scheduled hike in September, as the producer group continues to assess the impact of the Iran conflict on global supply, according to multiple media reports.The cartel is set to approve an increase of 188,000 barrels per day for September when it meets virtually on Aug. 2.Commercial shipping traffic through the Hormuz remained constrained as operators continued to avoid the strategic waterway, while renewed Houthi strikes on a Saudi-flagged tanker highlighted growing risks along alternative export routes, the latest maritime data showed on Tuesday.Soojin Kim, research analyst at MUFG, said that while improving diplomatic prospects have reduced the geopolitical risk premium, crude markets remain sensitive to developments in Hormuz, with shipping disruptions and regional security risks continuing to support elevated price volatility.Traffic through the strategic waterway, through which 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supplies flowed before the conflict, remains restricted, with the US Central Command saying it has redirected 18 comercial vessels, disabled 2, and boarded 2 to ensure full compliance.

US Natural Gas Update: Prices Continue Slide on Inadequate Demand

US natural gas futures extended earlier losses in after-hours trading on Tuesday, falling by more than 10 cents as a multi-day selloff continued amid ample supplies and subdued demand.The front-month Henry Hub contract fell 4.59% to $2.640 per million British thermal units, while the continuous contract declined 3.91% to $2.679/MMBtu.The market retreated for a fourth consecutive session on Tuesday, with nearest-month futures falling to a three-month low, according to Barchart. The Energy Buyers' Guide said the August contract has lost $0.20 over the past week and $0.62 over the past month. Weakness also spread to the winter strip, which fell $0.06 to $3.51/MMBtu and is once again testing multi-year lows.Prices remained under pressure after weather forecasts shifted toward cooler conditions across the Midwest and East Coast through Aug. 5, reducing expected demand for air conditioning and natural gas-fired power generation, Barchart said.Aegis Hedging said data from Criterion showed total US power demand slipped on Tuesday as national temperatures fell below the 10-year average. Market participants expect cooling degree days to bottom out at around 13 on Wednesday before stabilizing near 15 through the first half of August, Aegis said.According to Gelber & Associates, the latest weather model run added 7.4 Bcf of cumulative demand over the next two weeks, with most of the additional demand concentrated in the 11- to 15-day period. Total demand is projected to reach 117-120 Bcf/d next week, the firm said.While early August power burn is expected to improve, Gelber said liquefied natural gas feedgas demand is also forecast to increase into the 19.7-20.3 Bcf/d range, potentially creating a much tighter demand balance than current pipeline flows suggest.However, production is forecast to move above 111 Bcf/d and approach 112 Bcf/d by early August, meaning the market will likely require confirmation from actual power-sector and LNG export demand before assigning significant value to the warmer weather outlook, Gelber said.
