AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoMiddle East Energy Shock: Oil jumped back above $100 a barrel as US-Iran tensions and Red Sea attacks raise fears for Hormuz-linked supply routes, while refined fuel and shipping/insurance costs are climbing faster than crude—meaning the “energy shock” could hit consumers harder than the headline price suggests. Sanctions & Pressure: The EU adopted its 21st Russia sanctions package, targeting banks, crypto operators, shadow-fleet vessels, and additional oil-refining activity—aimed at squeezing Russia’s war economy. Regional Energy Security: China and ASEAN foreign ministers called for an immediate end to the Middle East conflict and stronger energy cooperation, warning spillovers threaten trade, investment, energy and food security. Southeast Asia Coal Risk: The Philippines is seeking emergency supply assurances from Indonesia after Jakarta centralised coal exports, threatening disruptions to a power system heavily dependent on Indonesian coal. Africa Power & Transition: South Africa advanced renewables with commercial operations at the Ummbila Emoyeni wind facility, while Nigeria’s latest oil licensing round showed growing frontier interest and a shift toward indigenous and mid-tier operators.
