Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Alimi: The Houthi movement in Yemen will not go unchallenged. There is no contradiction between the governments continued deterrence operations and its pursuit of peace.On August 13th, satellite imagery showed that for the first time in weeks, a very large crude carrier (VLCC) docked at the Al-Juama port near Rastanura, Saudi Arabias main export port in the Persian Gulf, indicating that Saudi Arabia is striving to maintain crude oil exports. However, shipping activity at Saudi ports remains affected by the war with Iran, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Houthi threat. As the worlds largest oil exporter, Saudi Arabia has recently shifted some of its crude oil shipments to the Red Sea port of Yanbu and exports to the Mediterranean via the Sumed pipeline. Meanwhile, activity at Yanbu port has decreased compared to before, with only three tankers currently observed docked, carrying approximately 3.4 million barrels of crude oil. Analysts believe that Saudi Arabias export routes are shifting from the traditional Bab el-Mandeb Strait to Asian markets to an alternative route via the Red Sea and connecting to the Suez Canal, in order to reduce regional security risks. Due to the disabling of automatic positioning systems on some tankers and the intervals in satellite observations, the actual scale of Saudi crude oil shipments is still difficult to fully confirm.Sources say that Google (GOOG.O) executives held an all-hands meeting last week to discuss restructuring of the artificial intelligence division in response to employee concerns.Sources say that Google (GOOG.O) co-founder Sergey Brin has been urging employees in recent months to focus on bringing the Gemini model back to the forefront of artificial intelligence.According to the Globe and Mail, Canada is weighing a proposal regarding auto tariffs while seeking a tariff exemption from the United States.

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price is unchanged on Tuesday amid a weaker US Dollar and muted risk sentiment. WTI fell to a low of $72.31 on Monday as a result of a strong risk-off environment sparked by the repercussions from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Banks. Since then, the WTI price has risen significantly as a result of the Federal Reserve's plan to intervene. After reaching a peak of approximately $76 on Monday, the WTI price retreated as the dynamics of the US Dollar shifted.

 

The financial system is being harmed by rising borrowing costs around the world and growth concerns are being raised. The WTI price is in a corrective decline as the narrative of China's reopening does not appear optimistic, as the country has lowered its growth forecast to 5.0%.

 

The SVB debacle exacerbates global growth concerns, as it is interpreted as the first of many financial system dings. Due to rising financing costs, businesses are struggling to make their repayments, which will eventually result in a decline in demand.

 

Despite tightened production and numerous voluntary cuts from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the WTI price is struggling to surpass $80.

 

Oil prices are influenced by a number of variables, including the US dollar, inflation, OPEC, and global growth concerns. Considering the aforementioned factors, it is difficult to rationalize the directional nature of oil prices, but it appears that the oil market is primarily driven by development concerns.

 

Since these nations are struggling to maintain oil prices above the desired $80 mark, it will also be crucial to monitor the OPEC position on reduced oil prices.
