  Oil prices edge up as Hormuz shipping constraints counter US-Iran peace hopes

Read more Oil prices edged up about 1% on Wednesday as the market focused more on Middle East supply disruptions than on comments by U.S. President Donald Trump that the war on Iran was close to over.
  Trump told the world to brace for an "amazing two days," as the army chief of mediator Pakistan arrived in Tehran in a bid to prevent renewed conflict.
  Brent futures rose $1.14, or 1.2%, to $95.93 a barrel at 12:02 p.m. EDT (1602 GMT), while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose $1.19, or 1.3%, to $95.93.
  Forty-five days after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards declared the strait closed, effectively shutting in about 20% of global oil and LNG shipments, transit through it remains at only a fraction of the 130-plus daily crossings before the war, sources said.
  The U.S. has enacted a blockade of shipping leaving Iranian ports that its military said has completely halted trade going in and out of the country by sea.
  "Recent tracking data shows a small but increasing number of tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz, even as overall traffic remains sharply below normal levels," analysts at energy consulting firm Gelber & Associates said.
  "The result is a market that is no longer pricing a full-scale outage, but still holding a residual premium as flows recover unevenly rather than snapping back to normal," the Gelber analysts added.
  
  WORLD COPING WITH SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS
  Finance ministers from almost a dozen countries led by Britain called on the U.S., Israel and Iran to implement their ceasefire in full and said the conflict would weigh on the global economy and markets even if it was resolved soon.
  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. economy will be slower this quarter, but it is in good shape and will rebound, adding that oil prices do not appear to be weighing on inflation expectations.
  Adding to economic uncertainty, Trump threatened to fire Jerome Powell from his separate seat on the U.S. central bank’s Board of Governors if the Federal Reserve chair does not vacate that post as well when his term as Fed chief ends on May 15.
  Analysts worry that involving more politics in interest rate decisions could reduce the Fed’s ability to control inflation. Trump wants the Fed to cut rates, which would reduce consumer costs and could boost economic growth and demand for oil.
  Higher oil prices could lead to a rise in consumer inflation expectations, Chicago Fed Bank President Austan Goolsbee told the Financial Times in an interview, adding the U.S. central bank faces a double danger from the Iran war and Trump’s tariffs.
  The war in the Middle East has intensified strains on an already fragile global fiscal situation, with higher interest rates and rising energy prices fueling calls for support from emerging markets and developing economies, the International Monetary Fund said on Wednesday in its Fiscal Monitor report.
  
  Japan said it would establish a financial framework worth about $10 billion to help Asian countries procure energy resources and bolster their stockpiles.
  Russia is ready to increase energy supplies to China ahead of an expected visit by President Vladimir Putin, Russian news agencies quoted Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying.
  U.S. OIL INVENTORIES
  One factor supporting U.S. crude prices was the surprise U.S. Energy Information Administration report showing energy firms pulled 0.9 million barrels of crude from stockpiles during the week ended April 10.
  That compared with a 0.15 million barrels build that analysts forecast in a Reuters poll and an increase of 6.1 million barrels that market sources said the American Petroleum Institute trade group reported on Tuesday. [EIA/S] [API/S] Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Biomethanol will lead CPEC’s multi-fuel complex in China – Xinhua

China Power Engineering Consulting is a subsidiary of China’s state-owned... Read more China Power Engineering Consulting (CPEC) has started the construction of a 500,000 mt/year low- and zero-emission fuel plant in Shenyang, state-owned media outlet Xinhua reported.
  
  China Power Engineering Consulting is a subsidiary of China’s state-owned energy conglomerate China Energy Engineering.
  
  The first phase of the “demonstration” plant is expected to start by 2028 with 100,000 mt/year of biomethanol production, Xinhua said.
  
  The second phase will include 300,000 mt/year of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and the third phase will comprise 100,000 mt/year of green ammonia production.
  
  Green hydrogen will be produced using wind power, while biomethanol and SAF production is estimated to consume around 3 million mt/year of biomass for gasification. Timelines for the second and third phases have not yet been disclosed.
  
  CPEC has not confirmed whether biomethanol or green ammonia output will be allocated specifically towards bunkering. But the Chinese government has been pushing to scale bio- and e-methanol supply to meet expected growth in shipping demand.
  
  Last year, the government outlined plans to expand Shanghai’s methanol bunkering capacity to 1 million mt/year by 2030. Separately, three firms, including SIPG Energy, also plan to develop a green methanol supply and bunkering network in the city.
  
  Methanol bunkering activity has also picked up in China in recent months.
  
  SIPG Energy delivered a 3,643 mt bio-methanol stem to a CMA CGM dual-fuel container ship at Yangshan port last month. Yantian Port in Shenzhen also hosted its first ship-to-ship green methanol bunkering earlier this year.
  
  The Zhoushan area of the China (Zhejiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone also issued its first licence for methanol bunkering of international vessels to Zhejiang Free Trade Zone PetroChina Fuel Oil in January. Source: ENGIИE

  Oil mixed as Middle East supply uncertainty outweighs hopes for US-Iran talks
  Oil prices were mixed on Wednesday with Brent futures up and U.S. futures down amid uncertainty over crude supply from the key Middle East producing region as the Strait of Hormuz remains mainly shut. Brent crude futures were up 40 cents, or 0.4%, to... Read more Oil prices were mixed on Wednesday with Brent futures up and U.S. futures down amid uncertainty over crude supply from the key Middle East producing region as the Strait of Hormuz remains mainly shut.
  Brent crude futures were up 40 cents, or 0.4%, to $95.19 a barrel at 0420 GMT, paring earlier losses of as much as 0.9%, after falling 4.6% in the previous session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was down 23 cents, or 0.3%, to $91.05. The contract earlier fell as much as 4.7% after dropping 7.9% the session before.
  Talks to end the war between the U.S. and Israel and Iran could resume in Pakistan over the next two days, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, after the collapse of negotiations over the weekend prompted Washington to impose a blockade on Iranian ports. This has increased optimism talks could eventually settle the conflict and open up crude oil and fuel flows.
  While the market is thinking the worst is over and factoring in further rounds of peace talks between the U.S. and Iran in the coming days, there is more hope than actual developments at this point, said Suvro Sarkar, energy sector team lead at DBS Bank.
  "Physical oil is still trading at significant premiums to these futures prices," he said.
  The war has mostly shut the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for crude and refined product flows out of the Gulf to global buyers, particularly in Asia and Europe.
  
  Refiners are desperately seeking alternative crude supply, pushing the premiums they are willing to pay for oil from areas such as the U.S. Gulf Coast and North Sea. A cargo of WTI Midland for delivery to Rotterdam traded at a record premium of $22.80 a barrel above benchmark European prices on Tuesday.
  Despite a two-week ceasefire, transit through the strait remains uncertain, with traffic at only a fraction of the 130 or so vessels that moved through the waterway before the war, sources said on Tuesday.
  A U.S. destroyer stopped two oil tankers from leaving Iran on Tuesday, a U.S. official said.
  "While diplomatic headlines suggest the possibility of renewed U.S.-Iran talks and even a temporary easing of transit restrictions, the physical reality remains fragmented," the Schork Group said in a note.
  The market stands to lose some access to further supply after two U.S. administration officials told Reuters on Tuesday the U.S. will not renew a 30-day waiver of sanctions on Iranian oil at sea that expires this week, and quietly let a similar waiver on sanctions on Russian oil expire over the weekend.
  Later in the day, markets will be watching for official U.S. inventory data from the Energy Information Administration due at 10:30 a.m. ET (1430 GMT).
  U.S. crude oil stockpiles were expected to have risen slightly last week, while distillate and gasoline inventories likely fell, a Reuters poll showed.
  
  Market sources familiar with American Petroleum Institute figures said on Tuesday U.S. crude oil inventories jumped for the third straight week.

  The U.S. Is Making Major Strides Toward Nuclear Fuel Independence
  Nuclear energy is poised for a major comeback in the United States. Donald Trump has made the revitalization of the domestic nuclear power sector a major aim of his administration, with the stated goal to reestablish the United States as the global leader... Read more Nuclear energy is poised for a major comeback in the United States. Donald Trump has made the revitalization of the domestic nuclear power sector a major aim of his administration, with the stated goal to reestablish the United States as the global leader in nuclear energy. The idea is that updating and expanding the United States' aging nuclear fleet will give the country a major leg up in terms of energy independence and autonomy.
  
  However, the U.S. nuclear energy sector – like the vast majority of the global nuclear sector – is extremely reliant on imported nuclear fuel, largely from Kazakhstan and Russia. And prices for uranium are soaring on the global market thanks to a global nuclear energy resurgence. The World Nuclear Association projects that global demand for uranium will balloon 28 percent by 2030 and nearly double by 2040, causing increased competition between nuclear energy producers around the world.
  
  At present, only five plants in the world operate large-scale uranium conversion, and half of global capacity is controlled by Russia, resulting in a major resource bottleneck and precarious geopolitical pain points. As a result, "U.S. nuclear energy faces fuel supply chain vulnerabilities, with tight uranium supplies, geopolitical risks, and rising costs threatening both existing reactors costs and advanced reactor development," according to a January report from Stanford Energy.
  
  What is more, China and Russia have been securing nuclear fuel supply chains for decades as the West backed away from nuclear energy. Now that the world is re-embracing the controversial resource, it may be too late for Europe and the United States to get a foothold in key uranium markets. "Russian and Chinese players have been very keen to secure access to resources in central Asia and Africa, creating a very aggressive competitive environment," Benjamin Godwin at Prism Strategic Intelligence told the Financial Times last year.
  
  Achieving true nuclear energy independence will therefore require the United States to cultivate a homegrown nuclear fuel sector. As luck would have it, the United States is home to vast quantities of uranium, but building up supply chains to extract and enrich that uranium takes a lot of time and money. To homeshore these supply chains efficiently and cost-effectively, multiple approaches are necessary, including the extraction of new uranium resources as well as the recycling of spent nuclear fuel. And the United States is making considerable progress on both.
  
  Just this month, uranium production began at the largest uranium in-situ recovery (ISR) site seen in the country in over a decade. "The estimated resource from the project, located on a 20,000-acre site, is currently 6,155,000 pounds of U3O8, the most stable form of uranium oxide," states an Interesting Engineering report published last week. The Burke Hollow site in South Texas is the latest development from The Uranium Energy Corporation (UEC), which also has a similar operation site in Wyoming.
  
  "UEC's recent production achievements in Texas and Wyoming highlight the importance of uranium production as the foundation of a secure, domestic nuclear fuel cycle," said Chris Wright, US Energy Secretary. "As we continue rebuilding the full fuel cycle, including key downstream infrastructure, this progress shows we can build it here and lead from here."
  
  The United States is also funding high-level research into recycling spent nuclear fuel, which could potentially boost resource utilization by a jaw-dropping 95 percent. "Used nuclear fuel is an incredible untapped resource in the United States," Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy Ted Garrish was quoted by World Nuclear News back in February. "The Trump Administration is taking a common-sense approach to making sure we're using our resources in the most efficient ways possible to secure American energy independence and fuel our economic growth."
  
  Together, these measures will be transformative for the independence and autonomy of the United States nuclear sector, which is the single-largest in the world. It may also inadvertently represent an important step forward for clean energy production in an era of anti-renewable sentiment, as nuclear power production does not release any carbon dioxide.
