Bloomberg: “the energy industry is warning that the crisis is only beginning. In conversations with more than three dozen oil and gas traders, executives, brokers, shippers and advisers over the last week, one message was repeated over and over: The world still hasn’t grasped the severity of the situation.
…If the strait stays closed, the world will have to significantly reduce its oil and gas consumption — but not before prices spike to a level that forces consumers and businesses to fly, drive and spend much less.”

🚨🇮🇷 Iran just set a hard line on Hormuz talks.
Iran's First Vice President says negotiations will only happen if adversaries pledge not to invade and recognize Iran's international rights.
He also said Iran's opponents are now "begging" for talks after the waterway was… https://t.co/DevZPCZLhY pic.twitter.com/fGWYJ5N2Uo

Algos and LLMs are so permabull biased, that when they see the word "deal", they buy tons of calls at ask, reaching deep into the bottom of the book order.

The Food Supply Chain Is Breaking… Again https://t.co/VhD1hBoA4r

Spring has sprung, which means seeds that were planted in late winter are starting to germinate.
They’re hungry and will only grow to their full nutritional potential if they’re well fed.
But that, apparently, isn’t happening, as fertilizer supplies are interrupted by yet another pointless Middle East war.
The result?
Global food shortages that might dwarf the COVID-era Costco-hoarding mess of recent memory.

Trump openly threatens war crimes against Iranian people as he says if Iran's leaders don't make a deal he will destroy the civilian drinking water centers and electric grids. Looks like Trump is learning from Netanyahu. https://t.co/4jpeIN8xmi

Donald Trump threatened to ‘blow up’ Iran’s water supply and electric grid if the Islamic regime did not immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as Tehran moves to abandon its nuclear treaty.
In a Truth Social post Monday morning, the President said if Iran does not sign a peace deal then the US would conclude the war by ‘blowing up and completely obliterating’ electric plants and oil wells across the country.
‘The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,’ Trump wrote. ‘Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business,” we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.”’
