Pre-New York: Gulf shipping risk keeps oil bid as the Budget, BoC and Fed loom

  • Since London: Qatar draft deal for Iran reported, then denied by a senior Iranian official; US military tells ships to avoid unnecessary Hormuz transits; Houthis call for Aden airport evacuation and UKMTO flags suspected piracy in the Gulf of Aden

Not investment advice.
