This episode discusses the impact of renewed conflict in the Middle East on LPG market outlooks and supply chains.
Enduring uncertainty about prospects for a recovery in strait of Hormuz gas carrier transits continue to cloud LPG market outlooks following a resumption of conflict in the Middle East. This episode of Global LPG Conversations, was recorded on 8 July as initial hopes of a return to normality on the US-Iran memorandum of understanding were beginning to fade in the wake of renewed air strikes exchanged in the region. And it sees Peter Wilton (Editor, Argus International LPG) speak with Waldemar Jaszczyk (Deputy Editor, European Pricing) and Jack Greenwood (Head of LPG Consulting) in an attempt to explain how markets and prices have fared in recent weeks and understand what a path back from months of strait of disruption to global supply would look like if peace can return once more. They examine how Asia absorbed the initial shock, why northwest Europe proved more resilient than expected, and what a slower recovery through Hormuz could mean for supply, freight and pricing into the heating season.
