  Oil prices on track for second straight weekly rise amid Mideast tensions
  Oil prices fell on Friday, cooling slightly from one-month highs, after the U.S. said it will impose its strictest ever economic sanctions on Iran.

Read more Oil prices fell on Friday, cooling slightly from one-month highs, after the U.S. said it will impose its strictest ever economic sanctions on Iran. Get more oil market insights with InvestingPro - now 55% off
  
  Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, had fallen 0.2% to $93.57 a barrel by 04:11 ET (08:11 GMT), while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures dropped 0.4% to $86.50 a barrel.
  
  But crude was on track for a second week of strong gains as a standoff between the U.S. and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz showed few signs of lifting. The Brent contract, in particular, was on pace to rise more than 5% this week.
  
  Crude’s gains come as U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose strict new economic sanctions against Iran to pressure the country into accepting a peace deal. Trump also warned dire economic consequences for countries doing business with Tehran.
  
  U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reiterated Trump’s comments on Thursday, stating that Iran would be subject to the “toughest sanctions in history.”
  
  However, Iran has largely dismissed U.S. threats of more economic sanctions, as did China, which is a major buyer of Iranian crude.
  
  It was not immediately clear what the new sanctions will entail, given that the U.S. has already imposed restrictions on Iran’s oil exports. The U.S. also maintained its naval blockade against Iran, which was imposed earlier this year.
  
  Still, Trump’s rhetoric pointed to little easing in Middle East tensions, which, in turn, are expected to maintain recent disruptions to regional oil supplies. In a note to clients, analysts at Deutsche Bank said "worries of an energy shock are continuing to permeate markets."
  
  Shipping data showed commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway that has become a key flashpoint in the Iran war, remained at a fraction of pre-conflict levels, despite U.S. claims to the contrary. Iran signaled it will keep the chokepoint effectively closed until the U.S. adheres to the terms of a now-expired interim peace deal signed in June. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  European gas touches highest since March conflict peak as Hormuz freeze drags on
  European natural gas prices surged on Friday, locking in a second consecutive week of heavy gains as severe shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz and a worsening geopolitical standoff with Tehran threatened Europe’s winter supply buffers.... Read more European natural gas prices surged on Friday, locking in a second consecutive week of heavy gains as severe shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz and a worsening geopolitical standoff with Tehran threatened Europe’s winter supply buffers.

  Benchmark Dutch front-month futures advanced to their highest level since March 19, 2026 - a key milestone marked by earlier regional strikes on Middle East energy infrastructure. Equivalent British wholesale gas contracts similarly crawled to five-month peaks, extending a multi-week breakout across European energy hubs.
  
  Both benchmark contracts capped a weekly gain of over 7%, securing their second straight week of advances as energy desks aggressively priced in a prolonged structural deficit heading into autumn.
  
  Hormuz transit freeze drives second week of rally
  The primary catalyst propelling wholesale prices back toward March peaks remains the acute shipping drag in the Persian Gulf.
  
  Commercial tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz - the maritime bottleneck that historically funneled roughly 20% of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) - remains severely constrained.
  
  Data from tracking desks confirms that daily commodity vessel transits remain depressed at single-digit levels, as a vast majority of global shipowners continue to avoid the vital conduit amid heightened war posture.
  
  Market sentiment deteriorated further after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to unleash "economic warfare" on Tehran, threatening the toughest sanctions in history against any nation providing a financial lifeline to Iran.
  
  The geopolitical escalation has virtually extinguished hopes for a swift diplomatic resolution that would reopen Qatari LNG export corridors.
  
  Pre-winter storage deficits keep floor under prices
  The lack of steady Qatari LNG inflows arrives at a critical juncture for Europe’s winter readiness.
  
  Data from Gas Infrastructure Europe indicates that continental storage caverns stand at roughly 60% of capacity - trailing seasonal five-year norms by approximately 17 percentage points. A summer of elevated gas-fired power demand for air conditioning, combined with delayed spot deliveries, has severely hindered seasonal injection rates.
  
  With the forward gas curve remaining in deep backwardation - where immediate delivery trades at a steep premium to future contracts - utilities lack the financial incentive to store expensive spot gas.
  
  Consequently, energy desks expect wholesale benchmarks to hold a strong geopolitical risk premium until commercial shipping through the Persian Gulf resumes. Source: Investing.com

  Oil set for second weekly rise as unsettled US-Iran war crimps supply
  Oil prices were little changed on Friday, but were on track for a second weekly rise as the stalemated U.S.-Iran war continues to disrupt supply from the key Middle East producing region.

Read more Oil prices were little changed on Friday, but were on track for a second weekly rise as the stalemated U.S.-Iran war continues to disrupt supply from the key Middle East producing region.
  
  Brent crude futures rose 4 cents to $93.82 a barrel by 0142 GMT, after climbing 2.4% in the previous session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures slipped 6 cents to $86.78 a barrel, after climbing 2.3% in the prior session.
  
  During the previous five days of gains, Brent gained more than 7% and WTI climbed more than 8%, reaching their highest since July 24.
  
  Prices have climbed on concerns the inconclusive state of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran will mean the continued curtailment of supply from major oil producers such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE and Kuwait.
  
  The earlier peace deal between them expired this week with no effort by either side to restart talks and U.S. President Donald Trump threatened economic retaliation against nations supporting Iran.
  
  "Both sides are dug in but lacking the luxury of time to play the waiting game, against a backdrop of crude prices grinding unerringly higher," IG analyst Tony Sycamore said on Friday.
  
  On Wednesday evening, Trump threatened "economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale" against Tehran, warning of consequences for any country that provided "any type of lifeline to Iran".
  
  This week, the United Arab Emirates suspended all financial and economic transactions with Iran until further notice, highlighting the fraught ties between the major Gulf Arab oil producer and Tehran.
  
  Thousands of people have been killed in the Iran war, which began on February 28 when the U.S. and Israel launched military strikes on Iran. Since then, Tehran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian attacks on energy facilities across the Middle East have disrupted global oil and gas flows.
  
  Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday was unchanged from the day before with nine vessel transiting the waterway, far below pre-war levels. Prior to the Iran war, shipments equal to about one-fifth of global consumption moved through the waterway. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Norway’s Oil Output Falls Nearly 200,000 Bpd as Gulf Supply Crisis Drags On
  Norway’s crude oil production averaged 1.776 million barrels per day in July, according to preliminary figures from the Norwegian Offshore Directorate.

Read more Norway’s crude oil production averaged 1.776 million barrels per day in July, according to preliminary figures from the Norwegian Offshore Directorate.
  
  The country also produced 183,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids and 17,000 barrels per day of condensate, bringing total liquids production to 1.976 million barrels per day.
  
  The year-over-year comparison is striking. Norway produced 1.971 million barrels per day of crude in July 2025, according to the Directorate’s latest revised figures. Crude output was therefore down by approximately 195,000 barrels per day, or nearly 10%.
  
  Total liquids production declined by around 197,000 barrels per day, or 9.1%, from 2.173 million barrels per day a year earlier.
  
  The timing gives the decline greater significance than the Norwegian numbers alone would suggest.
  
  The International Energy Agency estimates that 8.3 million barrels per day of Gulf production remained shut in during July as severely restricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continued to limit exports. Although global supply increased during the month, it remained 6.3 million barrels per day below year-earlier levels.
  
  Renewed hostilities and maritime disruptions have also prompted the IEA to reduce its projected third-quarter oil supply by 1.7 million barrels per day compared with its previous estimate.
  
  In that environment, the market is becoming increasingly dependent on production from outside the Persian Gulf, particularly barrels that can reach refiners without passing through a geopolitically exposed chokepoint.
  
  Norwegian Production Falls from June
  
  Norwegian production also declined from June.
  
  Revised figures show that crude output averaged 1.823 million barrels per day in June, while total liquids production reached 2.021 million barrels per day.
  
  Crude production therefore fell by 47,000 barrels per day, or 2.6%, month over month. Total liquids output declined by 45,000 barrels per day, equivalent to 2.2%.
  
  In a well-supplied market, a monthly Norwegian decline of this size could be absorbed relatively easily. Its significance increases when the global market is already relying on inventories, emergency reserves and alternative export routes to compensate for disrupted Middle Eastern supply.
  
  The problem is not that Norway lost enough barrels to move the market on its own. It is that the loss comes from the part of the supply system the market still expects to work.
  
  Norwegian crude is produced close to Europe’s refining system, supported by established infrastructure and largely insulated from the maritime constraints affecting Middle Eastern exports. Its value to the current market is therefore greater than Norway’s share of global supply alone would suggest.
  
  A Weak Month, But Not Yet a Structural Decline
  
  The annual decline should be viewed against an unusually strong comparison period.
  
  Norwegian crude production in July 2025 was 9% above the Directorate’s forecast, while total liquids output exceeded expectations by 6.2%. July 2026 is therefore being measured against an exceptionally strong month.
  
  Production on the Norwegian Continental Shelf also tends to fluctuate during the summer maintenance season. Planned shutdowns, unplanned operational issues and the timing of output from individual fields can produce significant changes from one month to the next.
  
  The July reading should therefore not be treated as evidence that Norwegian production has entered a structural decline.
  
  Norway entered the summer from a relatively strong position. Through June, cumulative oil production was 5.7% above the Norwegian Offshore Directorate’s forecast.
  
  Total petroleum production—including oil, natural gas, NGL and condensate—was also 5.9 million standard cubic meters of oil equivalent higher than during the same period in 2025.
  
  July has reduced some of that production cushion, but one weak month is not enough to overturn the stronger first-half performance.
  
  The Next Production Report Matters
  
  The market impact of Norway’s July decline will ultimately depend on whether it proves temporary.
  
  A recovery following the summer maintenance season would confirm that the weakness was primarily operational. Continued production below 1.8 million barrels per day would be more consequential, particularly if Gulf exports remain constrained and global inventories continue to absorb the supply deficit.
  
  Norway cannot replace the millions of barrels disrupted in the Persian Gulf. But if production remains below 1.8 million barrels per day after the maintenance season, the market will lose part of the reliable supply buffer it increasingly needs. That makes Norway’s next production report more consequential than usual. Source: Oilprice.com
