AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoIndia-UAE Energy Shield: Modi’s Abu Dhabi stopover is turning into a supply-buffers play: the UAE will store up to 30 million barrels in India’s strategic petroleum reserves, alongside plans for strategic gas reserves and long-term LPG offtake, with $5bn in new UAE investment commitments. Hormuz Shock Still Bites: With the Strait of Hormuz still unstable, India has already pushed through a ₹3/litre petrol and diesel hike (first in four years), while crude futures jumped 3%+ on renewed disruption fears and talk of sanctions pressure on Iranian-linked flows. Policy Meets Markets: India also extended bid deadlines for upstream oil and gas blocks to June 19, signaling a push to attract investment despite the Iran-war-driven supply anxiety. Security Spillover: A reported fire at a Venezuelan gas facility injured at least six workers, underscoring how aging infrastructure keeps adding volatility to global energy risk. US-China Crosswinds: Trump’s China visit ended with more managed messaging than clear trade wins, but it kept energy geopolitics—especially Iran and Taiwan—front and center.
