AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoStrait of Hormuz Escalation: The US and Iran traded the heaviest fire in months after Iran disabled a container ship and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed “until further notice,” while Washington insisted traffic is still flowing and said it struck about 140 targets in Iran, with the wider exchange spreading to Gulf states including Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Oman. Shipping Disruption & Fuel Markets: Tanker crossings through Hormuz reportedly fell sharply as the southern route was effectively squeezed, while fuel prices stayed pressured despite softer crude, pointing to refinery bottlenecks and tight refined-product supply. Regional Energy Diplomacy: Egypt and Jordan moved to expand cooperation in natural gas, mining and energy infrastructure via joint technical working groups. LPG Supply Watch: Pakistan’s LPG importers warned of a serious nationwide LPG shortage in days unless the government revises a pricing mechanism that they say fails to match landed import costs. Oil Export Route Backup: Turkey and Iraq are set to extend a 12-month deal for the Iraq-Turkey crude pipeline to keep exports flowing via Ceyhan as Hormuz risk persists. Energy Infrastructure Trend: Ports are diversifying cargo and services for “green” power supply chains, with disruption in oil and gas flows pushing demand for electrification-related equipment.
