July 31, 2026

(By Oil & Gas 360) – This week highlighted the growing gap between short-term market volatility and long-term industry investment. Oil prices whipsawed on renewed U.S.–Iran tensions before retreating as military action paused, while natural gas markets softened on record production.

July 10, 2026

(By Oil & Gas 360) Month Ending: June 2026 – June marked a turning point for global energy markets; the month began with fears of war-driven supply disruptions and a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

(By Oil & Gas 360) – Energy markets continued shifting from crisis pricing toward normalization this week, but the transition remains uneven.

(Oil & Gas 360) – This week marked a notable shift in market sentiment. For months, energy markets were focused on disruption, conflict, and supply risk.

(Oil & Gas 360) – This week highlighted a growing disconnect in energy markets. Oil prices fell sharply on hopes for diplomacy, yet the underlying fundamentals continue tightening.

(By Oil & Gas 360) – This week reminded markets that energy disruptions are rarely confined to the oil patch. Concerns over stalled U.S.–Iran negotiations, shrinking inventories, strained shipping routes, and growing LNG demand all pointed to the same reality: the world’s energy system remains vulnerable to supply shocks. While oil flows continue moving through Hormuz, the margin for error

May rewired global energy markets

May 31, 2026

(By Oil & Gas 360) – May was supposed to be about stabilization. Instead, it became another month dominated by geopolitical disruption, volatile oil prices, shifting LNG flows, accelerating energy consolidation, and rising concerns about the long-term reliability of global supply. At the center of nearly everything remained the Iran conflict and the continued disruption surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, one of
