Filipino farmers like Romeo Wagayan have been left with little choice but to let their vegetables rot in the field rather than sell them at a loss, as rising oil prices linked to the conflict in the Middle East drive up the cost of harvesting, labour and transport. “There’s nothing we can do,” said Wagayan, a 57-year-old vegetable farmer in the northern Philippine province of Benguet. “If we ha...

日本依靠距离中东地区很远的船对船石油转运来确保原油供应,同时使其油轮远离对船员和船舶而言风险过高的冲突地区。 船舶追踪数据显示,一艘名为Kisogawa的超大型原油运输船正驶往北海道,其周日在马来西亚西海岸林吉附近海域从一艘名为Rio De Janeiro Energy的船上接收了约120万桶穆尔班原油。此次操作距离上一次穆尔班原油在海上转运仅一周时间,目前这一船货物也在前往日本。 Kisogaw...
日本依靠距离中东地区很远的船对船石油转运来确保原油供应,同时使其油轮远离对船员和船舶而言风险过高的冲突地区。 船舶追踪数据显示,一艘名为Kisogawa的超大型原油运输船正驶往北海道,其周日在马来西亚西海岸林吉附近海域从一艘名为Rio De Janeiro Energy的船上接收了约120万桶穆尔班原油。此次操作距离上一次穆尔班原油在海上转运仅一周时间,目前这一船货物也在前往日本。 Kisogawa号(白色)于上周末在马来西亚西海岸附近从Rio De Janeiro Energy接收了运往日本的穆尔班原油。 对于日本航运公司而言,此类原油转运并不常见,凸显了日本面临日益严峻的挑战:既要维持从中东稳定进口原油,又要避免直接卷入冲突不断的地区。东京官员此前表示,他们在与伊朗方面商谈,并且在研究替代采购方案,同时强调必须确保船舶和船员的安全。来自日本的主要船东已经暂停运营途经波斯湾的航线,并指示船只留在安全水域。 标普全球能源的航运与金属业务全球主管Rahul Kapoor表示:“日本需要原油,买家正在争相抢购。这表明供应链已经中断,而海上转运有助于缓解这一问题。” 船舶追踪数据显示,自冲突爆发以来,仅有两艘日本油轮直接从中东装载原油,且均发生在3月1日。去年短暂冲突期间,首批要求船队规避整个波斯湾地区的船东就包括日本船东。 责任编辑:江学思

Thales Antonio/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras ( PBR ) has seen its share price increase almost 75% YTD, pushing its market cap to almost $130 billion USD, dramatically beating the S&P 500 since we last recommended investing. The company's oil earnings potential has skyrocketed as the Strait of Hormuz closure has pushed prices higher, and as we'll see, it still has enormous potential. Petrobras Results Petrobras had impressive results when you account for the 14% decline YoY in Brent crude prices. Petrobras Investor Presentation The company saw a 5% decline in adjusted EBITDA excluding one-off events, which translated to a 6% decline in net income. OCF declined by 5% as a result. None of this is unexpected, and only seeing mid-single-digit cash flow and earnings declines versus a double-digit Brent price decline is quite impressive to see. Petrobras Downstream A core aspect of Petrobras' strong performance is the company's move to a more reliable, integrated portfolio with improved downstream. Petrobras Investor Presentation The company grew domestic market oil product sales to more than 1.7 million barrels/day, including a mid-single digit ramp in diesel sales. The company managed to grow its refining utilization to 91%, along with expanding its refining to higher-value-added products. Using pre-salt oils, which are high quality, helped position the company better in its changing mix. We want to highlight one risk here, which is that domestic sales mean domestic pressure. Petrobras has substantial ownership from the Brazilian government, and rising oil prices place substantial domestic pressure . The company does not enjoy the same freedoms as if it sold products internationally, and this is a risk to Petrobras' ability to capture upside. Petrobras 2025 Operations Petrobras' strong financial improvement for 2025 makes sense when you look at the company's operational performance. Petrobras Investor Presentation The startup of n...

Rapper who has previously made antisemitic remarks responds to criticism over his booking at London festival The rapper formerly known as Kanye West has broken his silence and offered to “meet and listen” to members of the UK’s Jewish community after a fierce backlash over his booking at London’s Wireless festival. West, who is legally known as Ye, has been criticised for making antisemitic remarks including voicing admiration for Adolf Hitler.
