AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoMiddle East Oil Shock: Oil jumped after the U.S. struck three Iranian oil tankers and Iran warned of a new restricted zone beyond Hormuz, keeping Brent near $97 and raising fresh fears for global crude flows. OPEC+ Policy: OPEC+ kept October output steady, but analysts note the group’s paper targets can’t fully control real supply—especially as Hormuz disruption clouds 2027 talks. U.S. Fuel Prices: Gasoline is heading into Labor Day above $4 nationally (GasBuddy: ~$4.03), driven by crude back above $90, near-record refinery utilization, and tight gasoline inventories; diesel remains pressured by refinery and refinery-attack impacts. Local Pump Reality (US): GasBuddy spot checks show wide regional variation, from E85 at $2.69 in Clark County to diesel lows around $4.95 in Jasper County, underscoring how geopolitics hits prices unevenly. Energy Security & Projects: New Zealand’s Gas Security Fund approved up to $23.5m in loans for Todd Energy to bring forward Taranaki gas supply; Karnataka targets 66 GW by 2030 with renewables and grid/storage upgrades. Governance Watch: Nigeria’s gas infrastructure fund audit flagged N94.4bn in irregularities and missing filings, while Libya says it dismantled a drone sabotage cell targeting oil and power facilities.
