Energy Deep Dive
Weekly energy markets risk snapshot — composite 66/100 (High), ◆ first weekly snapshot.
Executive brief
Brent crude has breached $92/bbl following fresh US strikes on Iranian military assets near the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran retaliating against US forward bases in Jordan and Kuwait. China is drawing down commercial crude stockpiles to buffer Hormuz-related supply risk. Russian refining capacity at Kuibyshev (Samara) and Novokuibyshevsk is operationally impaired following drone strikes, with Dagestan gas pipeline infrastructure also affected. OPEC+ is conducting a capacity review and raising output. JERA–Petronas ink a landmark 20-year LNG supply agreement from 2028. WTI bears are testing the 100-day SMA near $87.50, creating near-term price dispersion across hubs.
