AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoHormuz Deal Push: Iran says it has handed the US a “concrete” seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restart nuclear talks, but only if Washington lifts its naval blockade, waives oil sanctions and agrees to a ceasefire covering Lebanon—while the White House says talks with mediators are “positive and constructive.” Market Impact: The prospect of reduced disruption helped pull European natural gas prices down nearly 5%, though supplies remain tight and storage is only a bit above 70% full. Red Sea Pressure: As Houthis expand around Bab al-Mandab, analysts warn the Red Sea could become a second chokepoint on top of Hormuz, raising risks for Saudi oil routes and global shipping. Regional Security: Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia held urgent military talks under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement after Houthi attacks on Saudi cities and oil-linked areas. Nuclear Fallout: US intelligence reviewed by lawmakers says Saudi Arabia hasn’t ruled out a nuclear program, adding new political heat to a US-Saudi civilian nuclear expansion deal. EU Demand Response: The EU energy chief warned of an “energy price crisis” tied to the supply shock and urged steps to curb gas and electricity demand.
