On the eve of the Trump-Xi summit, some interesting activity in the Strait of Hormuz, with a Chinese-linked oil tanker making the crossing (via the Iranian new lanes). If the Yuan Hua Hu VLCC completes the crossing (she has gone dark now), it would be the 3rd Chinese oil tanker to make it through since the war started. The tanker carries 2m barrels of Iraqi oil.

Adnoc Gas says its largest gas processing complex, Habshan, is at 60% of capacity after the April strikes. Targets 80% by year-end, only returning to full capacity in mid-2027 #OOTT

PHOTO OF THE DAY: Far from exploding, Iranian oil wells are pumping and pumping (don't believe everything the White House says). According to @CopernicusEU Sentinel-2 imagery, Iran was loading today three (3 !!!) tankers simultaneously at Kharg Island (🛰️📷 May 6 @ 7.16am GMT)

I told @anadoluagency that the #UAE's decision to leave #OPEC was not a surprise, as it has been frustrated in recent years by its inability to fully utilise its #oil production capacity. The move, amid the ongoing closure of the Strait of #Hormuz, appears timed to limit the impact on market balances and prices. Also, giving Opec enough space to recalibrate policy. Going forward, the UAE will chart an independent oil policy, while Opec will assess measures to compensate for the key member's market share and spare capacity. #OOTT aa.com.tr/en/economy/ope…

Told the @WSJ recently that #Iraq has no choice but to continue exporting limited volumes of #oil to market, via #Turkey and #Syria, in an attempt to shore up its revenues after losing its main outlet through the Gulf. #oott wsj.com/world/middle-e…

Iran basically wants the U.S. to remove the blockade off Hormuz. PAKISTANI SECURITY SOURCE: PAKISTAN ARMY CHIEF MUNIR SPOKE TO TRUMP, TOLD HIM HORMUZ BLOCKADE IS HURDLE TO TALKS PAKISTANI SECURITY SOURCE: TRUMP TOLD MUNIR HE WOULD CONSIDER HIS ADVICE

#Iran's #IRGC-affiliated Fars News says the Strait of Hormuz has been closed to shipping again citing #US blockade on Iranian #oil exports. #Tehran is using #Hormuz as a lever to obtain concessions from #Washington even before the two sides start their second round of talks - another indication Iran will not easily let go of that advantage. #OOTT

Pakistani sources say there has been a 'major breakthrough' over a deal on Iran’s nuclear programme. aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/16…

Spoke to @AsharqBusiness yesterday, discussing how continued #oil supply shortages from the closure of the Strait of #Hormuz could bridge the disconnect between futures and physical delivery prices. The divergence seen outlines strong demand from Asian and European refiners for non-#MiddleEast crude in a tightening market. Commenting on market outlooks from #Opec and the #IEA this week, I highlighted that demand recovery will be tied to the rebound in supplies from the region, which will be dictated by how durable any deal between the #US and #Iran will be - more importantly, that production recovery from the Gulf will not be even. #OOTT 📺 👇 now.asharq.com/clips/1805526/…
