More than 1 Billion Barrels of Oil Have Gone Missing
About 31 supertankers carrying 62 million barrels are set to leave as Persian Gulf exports normalize and oil prices ease, traders said.
- The Strait of Hormuz reopened this week following a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, ending a nearly four-month closure that severely restricted global oil supplies.
- Global oil reserves have reached a 43-year low, with the world losing 1.15 billion barrels of supply during the war as storage facilities in Cushing, Oklahoma, hit operational stress levels.
- Three vessels controlled by Bahri, Saudi Arabia's national shipping company, emerged in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday after two months in the Persian Gulf, while around 31 supertankers prepare to depart.
- Brent crude prices have fallen below $80 a barrel as refiners in Asia are well-supplied, with sellers including Abu Dhabi National Oil and Kuwait Petroleum Corp marketing available crude.
- President Donald Trump warned Wednesday that reopening the strait "won't immediately solve the world's inventory problem," while analysts at Kpler expect United States consumers to face higher energy prices throughout the summer months.
