UAE Presidents Foreign Policy Advisor: The UAE is exercising restraint and seeking a way out for Iran and the region.The UAE presidents foreign policy advisor said Irans accusations against the UAE are "part of its unwise and chaotic policy."On March 15, S&P Global Ratings affirmed Saudi Arabias sovereign credit rating, adding that despite disruptions, non-oil growth momentum and related non-oil revenues should help support the economy. S&P stated that Saudi Arabia should be able to withstand the impact of the current conflict with Iran. S&P noted that the country should be able to shift oil exports to the Red Sea, utilize its vast oil storage capacity, and increase oil production post-conflict. The Saudi government should also be able to adjust investment spending related to "Vision 2030," a strategic framework launched by the country in 2016.On March 15th, Matt Reed, Vice President of the geopolitical and energy consultancy Foreign Reports, stated that an attack on Kharg Island could trigger Iranian retaliation against Gulf oil-producing countries. He said, "Iran will retaliate in kind." The United States warned on Friday that if Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, Kharg Islands oil facilities could become the next target. Reed warned that the longer the conflict continues, the harder it will be to find alternative energy supplies. "At least 10 million barrels of oil are trapped in the Gulf every day, plus more than 4 million barrels of refined petroleum products and tens of billions of cubic feet of liquefied natural gas, with no easy alternatives." The International Energy Agency has announced the largest emergency oil reserve release in history, with 32 member countries planning to release approximately 400 million barrels of oil. However, Reed believes this measure will have limited effect, stating, "By the time the oil gets to the market, it may be too little, too late." He described it as nothing more than a "band-aid."On March 15th, local time, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement saying that in the past 48 hours, the US and Israel had launched attacks on several civilian industrial facilities in Iran, resulting in the deaths of several workers. The statement said that after setbacks in its confrontation with Iran, the US and Israel have turned to attacking non-military industrial facilities. Iran warned that US companies in the region should withdraw from their facilities and urged nearby residents to stay away from industrial areas with US capital involvement to avoid potential attacks.

Oct 26, 2021 11:02

On Tuesday (October 12), international oil prices continued their upward momentum in the previous three trading days. Analysts said that the rebound in global demand and energy shortages in economies from Europe to Asia have driven oil prices to strengthen rapidly. NYMEX crude oil looks at US$82.75.

GMT+8 13:57, NYMEX crude oil futures rose 0.43% to 80.87 US dollars per barrel; ICE Brent crude oil futures rose 0.50% to 84.07 US dollars per barrel.


Overnight, the two cities respectively set a new high of US$82.18/barrel since October 29, 2014 and a new high of US$84.60/barrel since October 10, 2018.

Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA, said: "There is still a lot of momentum behind the oil rally, and the fundamentals are still extremely favorable. Even if we see oil prices return to triple digits later this year, it will not surprise us."

Driven by energy shortages in Asia, Europe and the United States, electricity prices have risen to record highs in recent weeks. The surge in natural gas prices has also prompted power plants to switch fuels from cleaner natural gas to oil.

Qatar, the world's largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), told customers on Monday that it cannot help lower energy prices and supply more fuel to the market. Analysts estimate that the shift from natural gas to oil-based power generation may increase crude oil demand by 250,000 to 750,000 barrels per day.
