Data from Vortexa shows that Irans exports averaged approximately 209,000 barrels per day in May, a significant drop from 1.34 million barrels in April and nearly 1.9 million barrels in March, marking the lowest level since the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020. Vortexa analyst Claire Jungman stated, "Key drivers appear to include the volatile situation around the Strait of Hormuz, the US naval blockade of ships entering and leaving Iranian ports, and a general reluctance among shipowners, shipping companies, insurance companies, and trading partners to expose ships and crew to the current security environment." Data from another agency, Kpler, shows a similar decline, but it slightly revised its May export figures upward to 260,000 barrels per day, still the lowest level in six years.Russian President Vladimir Putin: I hope that all parties to the conflict in Iran can find a solution.Russian President Vladimir Putin: US President Donald Trumps peace proposals could serve as the basis for a peace agreement with Ukraine.

WTI crude oil drifts above $80.00 amidst a US Dollar rebound and supply shortage concerns

In the early hours of Monday, purchasers of WTI crude oil struggled to maintain the price above $80.70 as risk aversion and hawkish Fed forecasts bolstered the US Dollar. However, threats to Oil supplies, primarily emanating from China and OPEC+, appear to keep purchasers of black gold optimistic.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) reverses a four-day downtrend near 102.25 despite the inability of US Treasury bond yields to recover due to recession concerns. However, US 10-year and 2-year Treasury bond yields remain under pressure near 3.37 percent and 3.95 percent, respectively. In doing so, the benchmark bond coupons extend the previous day's losses and illustrate the market's flight to protection in response to concerns of an economic decline.

 

In spite of this, the recent disappointing US data reignite concerns of a recession in the world's largest economy and challenge the optimists in the energy sector. However, the positive US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data enabled Fed hawks to return to the table and renew demands for a 0.25 percentage point rate hike in May. The same constrains the value of the US dollar and stimulates demand for WTI crude oil.

 

On the other hand, geopolitical concerns surrounding China, particularly after the dragon nation's military exercises near Taiwan, combine with last week's unexpected OPEC+ production cut to keep Oil purchasers optimistic.

 

China's willingness to defend the global economy through robust monetary and fiscal easing at home also enables Oil purchasers to maintain optimism in the face of optimism among the world's largest Oil consumers.

 

The Easter Monday holiday in spot markets may limit Oil price movements, but the investors appear to be out of steam, so US inflation and Fed Minutes will be closely monitored for signs of a pullback.
