Supply ChainUpdate🇺🇸United States 🇮🇷Iran20d ago

Energy agency expects global oil demand to fall in 2026 Global oil demand will fall by about one million barrels a day in 2026 as the war between the United States and Iran weighs on the world economy, the International Energy Agency has said. The agency warned that the fighting was creating fresh uncertainty for consumers, businesses and energy markets. Higher risks around shipping and supply could weaken demand further if the conflict escalates.

Supply ChainUpdate🇶🇦Qatar 🇰🇼Kuwait 🇴🇲Oman+122d ago

Four oil and gas tankers turn back from Hormuz after vessel attacks Three Qatari-controlled liquefied natural gas tanker (LNG) tankers were inching westward towards the Strait of Hormuz before changing course to turn away late on Tuesday, data from analytics firms Kpler and LSEG shows.  All three tankers were empty and heading towards Qatar's Ras Laffan export facility to load cargoes. The diversions come after a Qatari LNG tanker and a Saudi-flagged crude oil tanker were damaged near the strait on Tuesday, prompting maritime authorities to raise the threat risk for transiting vessels to "severe." LSEG and Kpler data also showed the Indian-flagged very large crude carrier (VLCC) Lila Vadinar, which is carrying two million barrels of Kuwaiti crude loaded late last week, made a U-turn off the tip of Oman in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday. At least 16 LNG cargoes from Ras Laffan and 10 from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's Das Island terminal in the UAE have exited the strait since the conflict began in late February.

Supply ChainUpdate🇷🇺Russia 🇺🇦Ukraine34d ago

Kyiv is seeking retribution and one of its targets is Crimea. The peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014 now threatens to become Moscow's Achilles' heel, as Ukraine steps up its attacks targeting bridges, ferries and oil storage facilities. The strategy appears to be working: fuel and power shortages are becoming increasingly difficult and have forced Russian-installed leaders to introduce temporary measures and Crimeans now find themselves living under bombardment.

Supply ChainUpdate🇧🇷Brazil81d ago

A Brazilian research study from 2017–2023 reveals sharp racial and gender disparities in food insecurity: 38.5% of households headed by Black women experience severe food insecurity, compared to 15.7% for white men. The gap widens in the North and Northeast regions, where nearly half of Black women-headed households lack reliable food access. Even among formal employees, Black women's food security lags behind white men in informal work, pointing to structural economic inequality beyond employment status.
