BREAKING: Saudi Aramco has cancelled all of its September European crude oil allocations and is scrapping every cargo slated for late-September loading onward, with a European lifter saying no Saudi oil cargoes at all until November, per initial reports citing oil trading firm Onyx and market sources.
That takes the world's largest exporter out of the European market for the rest of September and all of October, a de facto force majeure on Saudi crude to Europe from the 3rd largest energy producer in the world.
BREAKING: Reports circulating that the Iran backed Houthis have destroyed or severely damaged key areas of Saudi Arabia's East-West crude pipeline.
Satellite imagery confirms strikes.
Oil prices set to skyrocket!
Yemen’s Houthis have captured the strategic Red Sea port city of Mocha, about 80km from the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, cutting key government supply lines and boosting their leverage over southern Red Sea shipping.
Al Jazeera’s Yousef Mawry reports.
⚡️BREAKING: The Houthis have now taken Full Control of the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait
This development has already had a Significant Impact on the Energy Market
- The price of Diesel in the US has officially surpassed $6.00, and the price of oil has reached $108

The dollar stability we enjoyed over the years will be history with Dangote Refinery now selling PPs to marketers in dollar.
I am not sure whether the Crude-In-Naira transaction has ended. If it has, then Dangote has no option but to also sell in dollars as he is buying most of raw materials, including crude, in dollar.
Daily dollar demand will skyrocket exponentially. Not going to be healthy for the economy.
