  Oil prices fall to seven-week low as Iran and Israel halt attacks
  Oil prices fell about 5% on Tuesday after Iran and Israel said they had halted attacks on each other following an appeal from U.S. President Donald Trump. Brent futures fell $4.30, or 4.6%, to $89.95 a barrel at 12:38 p.m. EDT (1638 GMT). U.S. West... Read more Oil prices fell about 5% on Tuesday after Iran and Israel said they had halted attacks on each other following an appeal from U.S. President Donald Trump.
  
  Brent futures fell $4.30, or 4.6%, to $89.95 a barrel at 12:38 p.m. EDT (1638 GMT). U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slid $4.95, or 5.4%, to $86.35.
  
  That put Brent on track for its lowest close since April 17 and WTI on track for its lowest close since May 29.
  
  Crude prices briefly pared losses around midday, down by just $2 a barrel, after Trump said Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter that was patrolling the Strait of Hormuz overnight.
  
  Trump added that the U.S., "must, of necessity, respond to this attack."
  
  On Monday, Israel and Iran halted direct attacks on each other after Trump urged them to stop. Tehran said it would resume hostilities if Israel continued to attack the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.
  
  On Tuesday, Israel struck the historic port city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, killing at least eight people. Iran has so far held back from attacking.
  
  "The oil market is drafting lower ... as the latest shooting match between Israel and Iran was diffused in favor of a ceasefire and as Trump continues to talk the market lower by suggesting that an end of the war with Iran could be reached in 2-3 days with negotiations in their final stages," analysts at energy advisory firm Ritterbusch and Associates said in a note.
  
  Iran has continued to block most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which before the war carried a fifth of the world’s crude oil and liquefied natural gas. Washington has imposed its own blockade of Iranian ports.
  
  U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Tuesday that ship traffic in the Gulf and oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz are rising even as Washington and Tehran struggle to reach a deal on ending their more than three-month-old war.
  
  Elsewhere around the world, China’s May crude imports slumped 29% to their lowest levels in eight years, extending a sharp decline in the world’s largest oil importer that is helping keep a lid on global oil prices.
  
  WORLD SUPPLY, DEMAND AND INVENTORIES
  
  The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected the Iran war would slash world petroleum production to an average of 99.0 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2026, down from a record 106.1 million bpd in 2025.
  
  At the same time, EIA forecast world oil demand would slide to 102.9 million bpd in 2026, down from a record 104.0 million bpd in 2025. The agency said countries would pull the extra needed barrels from storage, cutting inventories in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to their lowest level since 2003.
  
  Looking ahead, the oil market awaited weekly storage reports from the American Petroleum Institute (API) trade group later on Tuesday and the EIA on Wednesday.
  
  Analysts estimated energy firms pulled 3.4 million barrels of crude from U.S. storage during the week ended June 5.
  
  If correct, that would be the first time energy firms pulled crude out of storage for seven weeks in a row since January 2025. It compares with a decrease of 3.6 million barrels in the same week last year and an average decline of 0.7 million barrels over the past five years (2021 to 2025).

  LNG Bunker Snapshot: Prices rise across the board as Hormuz tensions persist June 8, 2026

  Renewed Israel-Iran fighting lifts TTF on Monday
  
  European bunker premiums edge wider on the week
  
  Weekly changes in LNG bunker prices:
  
  ARA up by $47/mt to $1,031/mt
  Singapore up by $36/mt to $1,202/mt
  Baltics up by $46/mt to $1,137/mt
  Europe
  
  European LNG bunker prices have risen alongside front-month TTF, which gained $0.86/MMBtu ($45/mt) on the week, as Iran suspended peace negotiations with the US and the prospect of a Strait of Hormuz reopening have receded. Mind Energy noted that renewed fighting between Israel and Iran pushed front-month TTF up more than €2.50/MWh on Monday.
  
  ARA bunker delivery premiums have nudged wider to $2.62/MMBtu ($136/mt) from $2.58/MMBtu ($134/mt), while Baltic Sea premiums have remained essentially flat at $4.67/MMBtu ($243/mt). EU storage has risen to just under 42% but remains 25% below the five-year average, notes JOGMEC.
  
  The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Greg Molnar noted that non-Gulf LNG supply surged 20% year-on-year in May, adding almost 8 billion cbm and offsetting around 90% of volumes lost through the Hormuz disruption. ANZ Bank commodity strategist Daniel Hynes said global LNG shipments to Europe have dropped in recent weeks as Asian demand picked up, making storage replenishment ahead of winter increasingly difficult.
  
  Asia
  
  Singapore's LNG bunker price has risen despite a more modest move in front-month JKM, which gained $0.47/MMBtu ($24/mt). The outperformance reflects a widening delivery premium, which has come up to $4.35/MMBtu ($226/mt) from $4.12/MMBtu ($214/mt) last week.
  
  The Singapore-ARA LNG bunker price spread has narrowed from $182/mt to $171/mt.
  
  JOGMEC reported that JKM briefly touched the low-$19/MMBtu ($988/mt) range mid-week, driven by Australian strike action, the suspension of US-Iran peace talks and weather-related demand.
  
  ANZ Bank’s Hynes said China has stepped back into the spot market and that India's LNG demand is recovering. India has been buying spot cargoes to replace lost Qatari volumes amid record heat pushing electricity demand to new highs.
  
  In other LNG bunker news, K Line has ordered four LNG dual-fuel car carriers from China Merchants Jinling Shipyard, destined for short-sea operations in Europe under its KESS subsidiary.
  
  LNG-capable vessel orders fell to just eight in May, outpaced by 26 LPG-capable newbuilds, according to DNV. The LNG-capable fleet stands at 936 vessels in operation and 688 on order through 2033.
  
  DNV has granted approval in principle to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries for a 1,400 TEU LPG dual-fuel container vessel design, drawing on fuel system concepts adapted from LNG-capable ships. Source: ENGIИE

Read more Oil prices fell on Tuesday, erasing most of the previous session’s gains, after Iran and Israel said they had halted attacks on each other following an appeal from U.S. President Donald Trump, though both sides warned they could resume hostilities.
  
  Brent crude futures were down 91 cents, or 1%, at $93.34 a barrel at 0400 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate declined $1.13, or 1.2%, at $90.17 a barrel.
  
  Prices climbed as much as 5% in the previous session after renewed Israeli strikes on Iran and attacks in Lebanon reduced hopes of an imminent end to the wider war, but pared gains after Iran’s armed forces announced the end of military operations against Israel.
  
  "While there is some relief from the latest pause in direct strikes, investors are not convinced the truce will hold," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.
  
  Iran and Israel said they had halted attacks on each other after an appeal from President Trump that they immediately "stop ’shooting’", though Tehran said it would resume strikes if Israel continued to hit Hezbollah in Lebanon.
  
  "While this helped stop the situation snowballing, the geopolitical backdrop remains tense, and a lasting peace deal remains elusive," said Tony Sycamore, market analyst at IG.
  
  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video statement carried by Israeli television that Israel would respond with force if Iran attacked again.
  
  Trump told Axios in an interview published on Monday that he warned Netanyahu that he might find himself fighting alone if he went back to war with Iran.
  
  "The key question is whether current de-escalation efforts can finally translate into a longer-lasting resolution, or if we’re simply in another temporary lull," Waterer said.
  
  One of the key issues Washington is pressing Tehran for in peace talks is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s supply of oil passed before the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran at the end of February.
  
  On Monday, U.S. forces disabled an unladen oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman after it attempted to sail to an Iranian port in violation of the ongoing blockade against Iran, the U.S. military said.

  Risks to Red Sea Oil Exports Could Roil Oil Market Further

Read more This weekend’s escalation between Iran and Israel showed just how hopes of a deal could be, and how traders may be too complacent about the ongoing oil supply disruption.
  
  Since Iran moved to close the Strait of Hormuz more than three months ago, global oil inventories and China’s more than 1.2 billion barrel stockpile, high levels of oil volumes on water, and the ability of Saudi Arabia to quickly re-route its exports not to depend on the Hormuz chokepoint have kept oil prices from soaring to record highs.
  
  But the constantly changing operational and military situation in the Middle East could quickly turn into a disaster for oil supply and into never-seen price spikes if Iran’s allies in Yemen, the Houthis, move to block the other major chokepoint in the region, Bab el-Mandeb.
  
  Even before the latest Israel-Iran escalation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) last week threatened, again, to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
  
  Considering how Tehran managed to effectively halt traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, its Houthi allies – who have largely stayed away from the current hostilities so far – could simply attack a couple of tankers offshore Yemen for traffic through Bab el-Mandeb to collapse amid fears of further attacks and choke off the oil exports from Saudi Arabia.

  A massive reduction of Saudi oil exports would escalate the war to a new level, and the price of oil to new heights.
  
  Overall traffic through Bab el-Mandeb has been subdued since 2023, when the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen began attacking ships in the Red Sea soon after the outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
  
  Related: The Iran Stalemate Could Be the Next Oil Supercycle Trigger
  
  Commercial maritime transport rerouted from Bab el Mandeb to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, adding weeks to journeys between Europe and Asia.
  
  In 2025, the Houthis largely stopped their attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea after an Israel-Hamas ceasefire. But traffic never recovered to early 2022 levels.
  
  Yet, since the Strait of Hormuz was closed, shipments of one particular item through Bab el-Mandeb soared. This is the crude oil from Saudi Arabia, the world’s top crude exporter, which has so far remained relatively unscathed by the Hormuz blockage, thanks to the Red Sea route via the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
  
  Saudi oil exports, especially of its prized Arab Light grade, from the Red Sea port of Yanbu soared as the Kingdom moved to use its East-West pipeline to capacity.
  
  Saudi oil giant Aramco last month said in its first-quarter earnings that capacity on the East-West pipeline to the Yanbu port reached its maximum of 7 million barrels per day (bpd).
  
  “Our East-West Pipeline, which reached its maximum capacity of 7.0 million barrels of oil per day, has proven itself to be a critical supply artery, helping to mitigate the impact of a global energy shock and providing relief to customers affected by shipping constraints in the Strait of Hormuz,” Aramco’s president and CEO Amin Nasser said.
  
  If tanker traffic through Bab el-Mandeb is disrupted by Houthi attacks, Saudi Arabia could lose part of its exports, and the world would lose millions of barrels of oil per day, on top of the about 13 million bpd already lost because of the closed Strait of Hormuz.
  
  “If the Houthis were to disrupt traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Asian buyers would further lose access to already constrained Middle Eastern crude supplies,” Muyu Xu, senior crude oil analyst at Kpler, said at the end of March, one month after the Iran war began.
  
  Tanker traffic could be rerouted westward via the Suez Canal and then around the Cape of Good Hope to deliver Saudi crude to Asia. But such a voyage would take nearly 50 days—more than double the transit time via the Red Sea, Xu added.
  
  This would effectively reduce prompt availability in the market—and would significantly raise costs, due to higher freight rates, increased fuel consumption, and reduced market efficiency as supertankers cannot move through the Suez Canal, the analyst said. Source: Oilprice.com
