  Oil eases on Middle East diplomacy hopes, Saudi attacks keep supply worries alive
  Oil prices edged lower on Tuesday as the potential for a resolution in the US-Israeli war on Iran kept supply fears at bay, but Brent stayed close to six-month highs as attacks on Saudi Arabia lowered hopes of immediate stability in the region. Brent... Read more Oil prices edged lower on Tuesday as the potential for a resolution in the US-Israeli war on Iran kept supply fears at bay, but Brent stayed close to six-month highs as attacks on Saudi Arabia lowered hopes of immediate stability in the region.
  
  Brent crude futures were down 66 cents, or 0.57%, at $115.15 a barrel as of 0000 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude was down 44 cents, or 0.43%, at $101.32.
  
  Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan held talks with Iranian officials in Tehran on Monday aimed at easing tensions in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia said the visit sought to establish open negotiating channels to "prevent the return of military escalation". The four countries agreed to continue talks with a view to strengthening cooperation in peace and security, Iranian state media reported.
  
  Hopes of resolution in the conflict erased some fears of supply disruption, lowering risks and pressuring oil prices.
  
  However, losses were limited as scope for peace looked fragile, with renewed attacks by Iran-aligned Houthis on key producer Saudi Arabia.
  
  October has been the worst month for attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waterways, according to data compiled by a Washington-based think tank that has tracked maritime security incidents worldwide since 2017.
  
  The war has rippled across the Middle East, placing the Strait of Hormuz at the center of the turmoil. The narrow waterway carried around a fifth of the world’s energy supplies before the conflict erupted in February.
  
  Last week, Brent prices surged to more than $117 a barrel, the highest level since April, after a wave of Iranian attacks on tankers around the strait. Brent prices touched $117 on Monday as well.
  
  Elsewhere, Russian refiners are raising diesel production in October after the government granted export quotas following the Kremlin’s supply agreement with the US, two industry sources close to the matter said.

  Russian Refiners Ramp Up Diesel Output to Supply Trump Deal
  Russian refiners have raised diesel output for October after Moscow issued export quotas under the Kremlin’s supply agreement with the United States, two industry sources told Reuters on Monday. Daily production fell to about 160,000 metric tons in the... Read more Russian refiners have raised diesel output for October after Moscow issued export quotas under the Kremlin’s supply agreement with the United States, two industry sources told Reuters on Monday. Daily production fell to about 160,000 metric tons in the first half of the month, from 175,000 tons in September. It began climbing toward 180,000 tons a day once the quotas arrived in mid-October.
  
  Russia’s domestic diesel consumption typically drops to about 140,000 tons a day in October, after the grain harvest and the summer driving season end, leaving at least 40,000 tons a day, more than 1 million tons a month, available for export, according to the sources. Between 200,000 and 300,000 tons of that is likely to go to neighbouring countries under intergovernmental agreements.
  
  Moscow is expected to keep its diesel export ban, which took effect in August, in place and to use quotas to control how much leaves the country.
  
  U.S. President Donald Trump said on October 9 that Russia would ship more than 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, followed by 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons after that. A further 3 million tons would depend on the condition of Russia’s refineries. Washington has temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian fuel to allow the trade, with a six-month Treasury waiver issued the same day.
  
  The waiver goes beyond pre-election price relief, and is seen by some analysts as a first step toward easing sanctions on Russian energy and pulling Moscow’s supplies back toward the West and away from China, which has come to rely on Russia since the Hormuz closure cut off Gulf oil.
  
  The first cargo on the Malta-flagged Agioi Fanendes left Primorsk on October 23 with about 40,000 tons of ultra-low sulfur diesel and is due in New York on November 7, four days after the midterm elections. The average U.S. diesel price stood at $6.32 a gallon that day, up from $3.63 a year earlier.
  
  Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said shipments to the United States would continue regularly. At least two other tankers carrying Russian diesel have signaled destinations in Turkey and Brazil.
  
  Analysts doubt the volumes will move the market. Standard Chartered has warned that Russia will struggle to raise diesel output in the near term because Ukrainian drone strikes have damaged its refineries, which will take months to repair. The bank adds that barrels redirected to U.S. buyers come out of supply to Russia’s existing customers. Kyiv resumed refinery strikes on October 15 after a three-day pause, which puts the October recovery at risk. Source: Oilprice.com

  India’s BPCL to Cut Russian Oil Imports Due to Higher Prices
  Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), one of the biggest Indian state-owned refiners, will reduce its purchases of crude oil from Russia in November as high freight costs and premiums for Russia’s crude undermine the attractiveness of Moscow’s... Read more Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), one of the biggest Indian state-owned refiners, will reduce its purchases of crude oil from Russia in November as high freight costs and premiums for Russia’s crude undermine the attractiveness of Moscow’s oil compared to Middle Eastern offers.
  
  BPCL will buy lower volumes of Russian crude in November as the Middle East grades are more commercially attractive for the company now, BPCL’s head of finance, Vetsa Ramakrishna Gupta, said on Monday, discussing the refiner’s quarterly earnings with analysts.
  
  Russian crude oil accounted for 37% of BPCL’s crude supplies in the quarter July to September, the executive said.
  
  But the purchases of Russian cargoes for November will be “significantly reduced” due to the higher shipping costs, according to Gupta.
  
  Yet, purchases of Russian crude oil may rise toward the end of the year.
  
  The premium of Russian crude has tumbled to $1-$2 per barrel over regional benchmarks for December cargoes, down from as high as $13 per barrel for this month’s cargoes, the Indian refiner’s executive noted.
  
  BPCL’s crude sourcing decision is generally in line with the recent trend for lower imports of Russian crude oil in India, due to the higher costs compared to Middle Eastern cargoes, whose availability has increased with the rise of flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  India saw its crude oil imports from the Middle East rebound in September to pre-war levels amid higher volumes exiting, while competition from China for Russian oil resulted in declining imports from Russia.
  
  India’s crude oil imports from the Middle East jumped to 2.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in September, up by 32% compared to August and the highest level since February, vessel-tracking data compiled by Reuters showed last week.
  
  Russia remained the single largest crude oil supplier to India in September, but the imports of Russian oil fell by 14% from August to 1.8 million bpd last month. The share of Russian oil in India’s oil imports dropped to 33.5% from 46.6% in August. Deprived of Iranian oil, China has turned to Russian crude, competing directly with India for Russian oil supply and driving prices higher.
  
  Going forward, Indian refiners are likely to continue preferring higher volumes of Middle Eastern oil (when available), due to the pricing and the shorter voyages from the Gulf of Oman to India, a source with an Indian refinery told Reuters. Source: Oilprice.com

  IEA’s Birol: Energy Prices Won’t Return to Pre-War Levels in 2027

Read more The Middle East conflict has tightened energy markets so much that crude oil, fuel, and natural gas prices are unlikely to return to pre-war levels in 2027, Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), said on Monday.
  
  “I am afraid I don't see any credible pathway that the markets will go next year, where we were before this war has started,” Birol said at the Singapore International Energy Week conference, as carried by Reuters.
  
  In a speech at the event, Birol cautioned that energy markets are unlikely to quickly return to the conditions seen before the current crisis. The world faces a major energy security challenge as key global energy arteries come under pressure, the executive added, saying that trust is the scarcest commodity in the energy markets today.
  
  High oil and fuel prices are hitting economies and budgets of many countries, especially in Asia, according to the head of the IEA.
  
  The current crisis will result in acceleration of the “Age of electricity,” and of nuclear power capacity expansions, Birol said.
  
  “Oil prices are flirting with $120 a barrel, and the prices for products are even much higher,” the IEA’s top executive said at a press conference at the event.
  
  “I can tell you that ‌the current price of oil is, for some countries, for example in Europe, maybe not so high and affordable. But in many parts of the world, having almost $120 oil prices is having a major impact on trade deficits,” Birol said.
  
  The current crunch in the diesel and gasoil markets is set to extend into the middle of next year, IEA said in its monthly Oil Market Report for October.
  
  Global fuel markets are set to remain tight until at least the middle of next year as the second quarter of 2027 will see unusually high planned maintenance that refiners have deferred from this year, Morgan Stanley analysts said last week. Source: Oilprice.com

  Saudi Oil Output Jumps 12.2% to 8 Million Bpd in September
  Crude oil production in Saudi Arabia rose by 12.2% in September from a month earlier, to reach 8 million barrels per day (bpd), data by Al Rajhi Capital Research cited by TradeArabia showed on Monday. Following the very low levels of crude oil output... Read more Crude oil production in Saudi Arabia rose by 12.2% in September from a month earlier, to reach 8 million barrels per day (bpd), data by Al Rajhi Capital Research cited by TradeArabia showed on Monday.
  
  Following the very low levels of crude oil output in the spring and early summer, when all Gulf producers slashed output due to inability to ship crude cargoes via the Strait of Hormuz, production has started to recover as Saudi Arabia boosted ship-to-ship (STS) transfers outside the Strait and redirected most exports through its Red Sea port of Yanbu.
  
  Despite the temporary two-week halt of the East-West oil pipeline and loadings at Yanbu in September due to the September 10 attacks on the pipeline, production rose as the Kingdom pivoted to shuttle-shipping crude through Hormuz by transferring cargoes that had transited Hormuz onto other vessels in the Gulf of Oman.
  
  At the end of September, Brent Crude prices settled at $103.5 per barrel, which, alongside increased crude oil production, raised Saudi revenues from oil.
  
  The higher oil income comes as non-oil indicators also pointed to improvement, according to Al Rajhi Capital Research.
  
  Consumer spending rose by 6.4% in August from a year earlier, while the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) registered in September its strongest reading since February, just before the Middle East conflict started and upended all oil production and economic forecasts in the region.
  
  But the Saudi economic picture remains mixed. For example, Saudi Arabia’s merchandise exports fell by 11.5% in August 2026 compared to August 2025, with oil exports down by 12.5%, Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Statistics said.
  
  In the second quarter of 2026, at the peak of the Hormuz crisis when tankers were barely moving out of the Strait, Saudi Arabia’s real gross domestic product (GDP) slumped by 4.7% year-over-year, due to a 24.8% plunge in oil activities, while government activities and non-oil activities both rose by 0.9%. On a seasonally adjusted basis, real GDP declined by 4.8% compared to Q1, with oil activities down 21.6%, per data from the statistics authority. Source: Oilprice.com

  U.S. Army Says It Has Helped 1.5 Billion Barrels of Oil Out of Hormuz
  U.S. forces have helped Persian Gulf producers move more than 1.5 billion barrels out of the Strait of Hormuz since the Iran war began, Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said during a visit to the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday. More... Read more U.S. forces have helped Persian Gulf producers move more than 1.5 billion barrels out of the Strait of Hormuz since the Iran war began, Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said during a visit to the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.
  
  More than 3,000 commercial vessels have successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz with support from CENTCOM forces over the last six months, the U.S. military said.
  
  “We continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with our Gulf partners and the shipping industry,” said Cooper.
  
  “This visit underscores our strong commitment to continued freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.”
  
  American forces have successfully cleared the Strait of Hormuz’s international shipping lanes of sea mines laid by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to the U.S. Central Command.
  
  The U.S. military said that the 95% success rate of ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz without incident in recent months is “clearly demonstrating that the United States and regional partners control the international waterway.”
  
  Oil flows out of the Strait of Hormuz, and the whole Middle East has recovered in the past two months, according to various tanker-tracking services. Some estimates put the flows at the Strait of Hormuz at already exceeding pre-war levels, excluding Iranian exports.
  
  However, threats to shipping in the area have not subsided. On the contrary, the escalating Saudi-Houthi tensions could disrupt the recovering flows, while Iran has claimed dozens of hits on tankers in the Persian Gulf and in the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  At any rate, the market continues to price in a prolonged disruption and continued inefficient oil shipments, which have hiked shipping costs to record highs, further raising the cost of crude oil for buyers and ultimately, for the end consumers.
  
  Oil prices fell in Asian trade on Monday, but Brent Crude remained above $115 per barrel, and WTI was still above the $100 mark, as hostilities between Yemen’s Houthis and Saudi Arabia, as well as Iranian attacks on tankers in the Persian Gulf, continue. Source: Oilprice.com
