Russia tightens gasoline exports for four months to prioritize the domestic market
⛽ Russia will ban gasoline exports from April 1 to July 31, 2026, and the key point is that this round applies to producers as well, instead of being limited to intermediaries as before. The move shows Moscow is choosing to keep more supply at home while global energy prices remain highly volatile.
🌍 With Russia’s gasoline exports in 2025 estimated at around 5 million tonnes, or nearly 117,000 barrels per day, the international market could lose a meaningful share of supply right in the peak consumption season. The direct impact therefore leans more toward gasoline prices and refining margins, rather than creating a major shock for crude oil itself.
🏭 The background behind this decision is also quite clear, as Russia has repeatedly used similar measures to contain domestic fuel prices, especially after localized shortages and pressure from attacks on refineries last year. This renewed restriction reflects a stronger priority on domestic stability over export expansion.
📈 In the short term, this is an additional supportive signal for refined fuel prices in global markets, especially in regions that had been absorbing Russian supply. For the broader energy market, the news reinforces how sensitive supply chains remain while geopolitical risks have yet to ease.

US rig count keeps falling even as oil prices stay elevated
📌 Baker Hughes showed total U.S. oil and gas rigs fell by 9 to 543 in the week ending March 27, marking a second straight weekly decline and leaving the count 49 rigs below the same period last year.
📉 Both major segments weakened, with oil rigs down to 409 and gas rigs down to 127, while the Permian Basin also slipped to 241. This suggests production expansion remains cautious even in the most important drilling region.
🛢️ The key point is that the decline came even as oil prices stayed high because of Iran-related risks and concerns around the Strait of Hormuz. That indicates U.S. shale producers are still prioritizing capital discipline and cash flow efficiency over rushing into new drilling.
⚖️ For the energy market, this leans supportive for crude prices because future U.S. supply has not risen in line with higher prices. On the other hand, oilfield services may not benefit clearly yet if drilling activity remains constrained.

Interesting observation regarding how producers are prioritizing capital efficiency today.
Refined fuels are emerging as Asia’s new bottleneck as Hormuz remains blocked
📌 The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is creating a shock not only for crude oil, but also for refined fuels, as this shipping route is tied to roughly 20% of global oil and petroleum product supply. The market focus is therefore shifting away from crude prices alone and toward the growing risk of diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel shortages across Asia.
⚠️ Price action is already reflecting that pressure, with Singapore gasoil up 57% to $143.88 per barrel and jet fuel up 114% to $199.66 per barrel. The strain is intensifying further as China halted fuel exports from March 11, while South Korea is also prioritizing domestic energy security over external shipments.
🔎 Import-dependent economies such as Australia and Indonesia are among the most exposed. Australia imports around 900,000 barrels per day, holds only about 30 days of domestic reserves, and has already begun releasing emergency stockpiles, highlighting that risks to transport, mining, and supply chains are no longer a distant scenario.

US–Iran talks end without a deal, but Venezuela supply is helping cap oil’s war premium.
📌 Indirect nuclear talks in Geneva on Feb 26 closed with no agreement, yet both sides backed follow-up technical discussions in Vienna next week, easing immediate conflict fears.
🔎 The key deadlock remains Washington’s demand for Iran to give up uranium enrichment and broaden talks to missiles, while Tehran frames both as sovereignty and deterrence.
⚠️ A 10–15 day window referenced by the White House keeps risk pricing elevated, since any escalation narrative quickly ties back to potential disruption around Hormuz.
⛽ On the other side, Venezuela crude sales under a US-controlled framework are expected to reach about $2B by end-February, roughly ~40M barrels, adding real supply and offsetting Iran risk.
📉 For now, oil looks prone to headline whipsaws, but the near-term bias leans toward balance as markets weigh geopolitics against incremental barrels.

ADNOC offers extra Murban for April, reinforcing the supply-heavy narrative ahead of OPEC+.
⏱️ ADNOC is reportedly offering additional Murban volumes to its onshore concession partners for April exports, just ahead of the March 1 OPEC+ meeting.
📌 Murban is Abu Dhabi’s flagship crude grade, with production around 2 million bpd. Concession partners hold roughly 40% lifting rights, and some of these extra cargoes have already surfaced in the spot market.
🔎 More Middle East barrels typically weigh on spot premiums as the market prices in looser availability. April-loading Dubai crude cargo premiums have recently slipped below the ~$2/bbl area.
💡 If OPEC+ resumes a modest April hike of about +137,000 bpd, the easing-supply message becomes clearer. This would likely cap near-term upside, even with geopolitical risks still in the background.
⚠️ The exact incremental volumes are not disclosed. Therefore, price impact hinges on the real increase and Asian demand strength. If demand softens, oversupply risk can reprice quickly.

IEA launches its biggest-ever emergency oil release as the Iran war jolts global supply
🛢️ After the Middle East conflict began on February 28, the IEA called an emergency meeting on March 10, and on March 11 all 32 member countries agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil, the largest coordinated stock draw in the agency’s history.
⚠️ The move came as disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz tightened global supply and pushed Brent above $100 a barrel, with the IEA warning on March 12 that the market was facing the biggest oil supply shock on record.
📉 Even so, the release looks more like a time-buying measure than a full solution. Some U.S. barrels are expected to reach the market next week, while several countries may spread deliveries over 90 to 180 days, leaving prices highly sensitive to any further escalation around Hormuz.
