Ceasefire Caps Oil Rally as China Demand Weakens

Supertankers Are Back in Fashion as Hormuz Risk Rewrites Oil Trade - The US-Iran crisis has engendered a shipbuilding boom, with the global orderbook for supertankers soaring to an all-time high as shippers race to lock in Very Large Crude Carriers (or VLCCs) for 2029-2030 delivery. - There are currently 262 VLCCs on order at shipyards around the world, surpassing the previous record posted in September 2008 (254), with orders jumping by a whopping 99 since the beginning of 2026. - Some 10% of the world’s non-sanctioned VLCC fleet remains locked up in the Persian Gulf, wary of transiting the Strait of Hormuz, alerting shippers to the geopolitical risks inherent in oil trading. - Simultaneously, market prices for second-hand tankers have been shooting through the roof, with 10-year-old VLCCs now going for $115 million, the highest since 2008. - Whilst the rejuvenation of the global VLCC fleet (on average 14.1 years) is definitely a welcome development, the flurry of VLCCs coming into the market by the 2030s could foreshadow a very challenging freight market throughout the next decade. Market Movers - US oil major Chevron (NYSE:CVX) has applied to join Argentina’s RIGI tax incentive regime for its $13.8 billion unconventional El Trapial project in the Vaca Muerta shale play, potentially becoming one of the largest investments in the country. - Global trading house Mercuria has bought the Argentina downstream business of Brazil’s Raizen for $1.42 billion, taking over the Latin America’s country second-largest fuel distribution network. - Italian oil major ENI (BIT:ENI) has signed an exploration and development agreement with the Gambia for offshore block A1, five years after BP gave up on exploring the country amidst COVID-19 turmoil. - Brazil’s state oil company Petrobras (NYSE:PBR) has been granted the right to develop 8 offshore blocks in the West African country of Côte d’Ivoire, covering most of its ultra-deepwater acreage. - US LNG developer Glenfarne has upped its price estimate for the 20 mtpa Alaska LNG project from the previous $44 billion to $55 billion, with the cost of the liquefaction terminal assessed at $24-28 billion. Tuesday, June 09, 2026 The sudden escalation in Israeli and Iranian missile attacks and the subsequent Trump-brokered (temporary) cessation of hostilities has prevented another breakout in crude prices, with ICE Brent continuing to linger around $92 per barrel. Fears of demand destruction are increasingly coming to the forefront, with Chinese buying activity falling into the summer months, traditionally a period of peak demand for the Asian continent. OPEC+ Is the Group That Keeps on Giving. The seven remaining members of OPEC+ rubberstamped another 188,000 b/d production hike for July, the fourth straight monthly increase despite the closure of the Strait of Hormuz that slashed some 10 million b/d from Gulf countries’ output. Saudi Aramco Pulls Asian Prices Lower. Saudi national oil firm Saudi Aramco (TADAWUL:2222) slashed its formula prices for July-loading cargoes to Asia by $6 per barrel, reflecting a weakening regional pull and putting its flagship Arab Light grade $9.50 per barrel above Oman/Dubai. Chinese Oil Imports Slump to 8-Year Low. According to Chinese customs data, crude imports to the Asian powerhouse dropped to just 7.8 million b/d in May, the lowest since October 2017 and almost 4 million b/d lower than a year ago as Beijing leans heavily on run cuts and inventory draws. Colombia Eyes Venezuela’s Oil Revival. Oil companies in Colombia, a country that has managed to reverse a terminal production decline due to the influx of qualified PDVSA employees fleeing the Maduro regime, are increasingly considering investment opportunities in neighbouring Venezuela. Norway’s Largest Oilfield Gets Reallocated. France’s TotalEnergies (NYSE:TTE) and Norway’s Aker BP have received slightly bigger stakes in the largest European oil field Johan Sverdrup, to 8.72% and 31.72% respectively, to the detriment of Norwegian state-controlled hydrocarbon holding Petoro. Iran War Disrupts China’s New Refineries. Market disruptions due to the US-Iran war have triggered project delays in China’s upcoming downstream projects, with Saudi Aramco’s 300,000 b/d Panjin refinery pushing back its startup from June to early October, similarly to CNPC’s Dalian expansion. Recovering Runs Curb Russia’s Oil Exports. Russia’s refinery runs are expected to increase by 250,000-400,000 b/d this month after hitting a 17-year low of 4.7 million b/d in May amidst Ukrainian drone strikes and spring maintenance, slashing exports from its European ports. Trump Administration Hails Hormuz Progress. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said that ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is rising ‘very meaningfully’, just as Kuwait offered 4 million barrels of its crude to be delivered outside of the Gulf, joining the ranks of the United Arab Emirates. Ichthys Strike Tightens Australia’s LNG Outlook. INPEX (TYO:1605), the Japanese operator of the Ichthys LNG plant offshore Australia, has hardened its stance vis-à-vis striking employees and asked the country’s workplace tribunal to block industrial action at the facility, planned for June 11. UK Oil Major Cuts Company in Half. London-based oil giant BP (NYSE:BP) has formalized the restructuring of the company into separate upstream and downstream units, with company veteran Gordon Birrell assuming the former and Richard Harding serving as interim head of downstream. Trump’s Alaska Auction Fails Spectacularly. The June 5 federal lease sale in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge disappointed market watchers, with only 5 leases allocated between the state of Alaska itself (3) and a smaller producer HEX Alaska (2), sapping the outlook for Alaskan drilling. Vancouver to Dredge TMX Waterway. The Port of Vancouver is launching dredging works this summer to allow Aframax tankers, usually carrying 700,000 barrels, to load fully as the current depth of the waterway from the Westridge Marine Terminal caps TMX loadings at just 550-600,000 barrels. Gulf Aluminium Woes Start to Bite. Primary aluminium output in Gulf countries plunged to its lowest in more than a decade, to just 330,000 tonnes in May and down 35% from a year ago, paving the way for a boom in Chinese exports that have jumped to 632,000 tonnes last month. Washington Ups the Ante on China’s Tech. The US Department of Defense added several Chinese business giants, including technology firms Alibaba and Baidu and EV manufacturers BYD and Nio to its list of companies linked to China’s military, banning them from government-related contracts.

Pope uses Spain speech to warn of global ‘spiritual and cultural crisis’

Pope Leo XIV has used an address to the Spanish parliament to warn the world is undergoing “a deep spiritual and cultural crisis” and to urge the international community to tackle the causes and consequences of what he termed “the tragic drama of migration”. In a wide-ranging speech delivered to lawmakers in Madrid, the pontiff also touched on conflict, artificial intelligence, the climate emergency, and the issues of abortion and euthanasia. “The world is undergoing a deep spiritual and cultural crisis, which manifests itself in multiple forms of violence, polarisation and mutual mistrust,” he said. “Given this context, peace is not just a political aspiration but a true moral need.” The pope told the politicians on Monday that the search for peace would require “diplomatic courage, ethical responsibility” and a determination to solve problems using international law rather than resorting to “the temporary silence” achieved by weapons. View image in fullscreen The pope said the search for peace would require ‘diplomatic courage, ethical responsibility’. Photograph: Ciro Fusco/Reuters “That is why it is concerning that in various parts of the world – including Europe – rearmament is once again being presented as an almost inevitable response to the fragility of the international landscape,” the pontiff added. “True security, on the other hand, stems from justice, patient dialogue, respect for international law, and a policy capable of prioritising the lives of people over the interests that profit from war.” Much of his speech, the first such address by a pope to the Spanish parliament, was devoted to migration. Leo intends to highlight the issue on his week-long visit to Spain, which will include meetings in the Canaries with people who have taken the perilous Atlantic route from Africa to Europe. The pontiff, the first US pope, has already clashed with the Trump administration over its war in Iran and over treatment of migrants. His presence in Spain comes at a time when the country’s socialist-led government is bucking European trends by regularising the status of more than 500,000 undocumented migrants and asylum seekers. View image in fullscreen The pope at the Congress of Deputies in Madrid. Photograph: Vatican pool/Getty Images Santiago Abascal, the leader of Spain’s far-right Vox party, which last year floated the idea of deporting up to 8 million people of foreign origin including the children of immigrants, has decried the regularisation scheme as part of a government plan to accelerate an immigrant “invasion”. Vox is currently seeking to enact a “national priority” policy that favours Spaniards over foreign-born people when it comes to housing and benefits in the regions where it governs in coalition with the conservative People’s party. Leo told Spanish MPs and senators that countries had a moral duty to accept and protect migrants, saying: “The tragic drama of migration … challenges the conscience of nations and the ethical foundation of the international order. Numerous men, women, and children are forced, often by dramatic circumstances, to leave their communities and abandon loved ones, their histories, and their connections.” He added that the “universal principle of the equal dignity of all human beings” was violated if people found themselves discriminated against “because of their national, ethnic, religious or linguistic origin, or because of their economic or social status”. Leo went on to call for the creation of “safe and legal pathways” and for “real possibilities of integration”. But he also urged the international community to tackle the root causes of migration by working to ensure “that no one has to leave their home because of a lack of peace, security or decent living conditions, because of economic inequalities, or because of the effects of the climate crisis”. The pontiff, whose address met with a seven-minute ovation, also pointedly reminded his audience of the church’s teaching on the sanctity of human life. View image in fullscreen The pontiff’s address received a seven-minute ovation. Photograph: Stefano Rellandini/Reuters “All human life must be recognised and protected from conception to natural death, in every circumstance of its existence,” said Leo. “When this certainty is obscured, the most vulnerable become the first victims, and the law loses its deepest meaning: to serve and protect every person. Therefore, the moral greatness of a nation is shown, above all, in its capacity to accompany, protect, and love those lives that are most fragile.” Abortion was decriminalised in Spain in 1985 and legislation was relaxed in 2010 to give women the right to a termination up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. A euthanasia law was introduced in 2021. The pope is due to attend a meeting later on Monday with survivors of sexual abuse by members of the Roman Catholic clergy. Speaking to Spanish bishops ahead of the meeting, he described the abuse as “a scourge” and said the church needed to respond “with listening, with truth, with justice and with reparation”. However, some groups representing victims of sexual abuse have complained of being excluded from meetings with Leo. “We don’t want a photo with the pope – we want rights and reparations for all the victims,” a coalition of the groups said in a joint statement. “Excluding survivors and groups who have been working for years for truth, justice and reparation only serves to deepen the feeling of abandonment and weariness through a negligence that has lasted for too long.”

Crack and crime to confident and qualified: is the future about to change for Rhyl’s youth?

62 خبر

Killing time playing pool at the West Rhyl youth club, friends Sienna, 19, and Jake, 26, are unanimous when asked what a tour of the north Wales seaside town should look like. “The first place I’d show anyone is ‘Crackhead Circle’,” Sienna says. The small public garden behind the town hall and a paved area by the closed home bargain store Wilko in the adjacent high street host several strung-out characters on a cold February afternoon. Police cars crawl through the area every 15 minutes or so as part of Project Renew, a year-long crackdown on gang activity and drugs. On the seafront, a row of Victorian hotels look out over the milky-green Irish Sea, but their glamour has long faded; the dilapidated buildings now serve as emergency accommodation for the council. Sienna waves at a group of people gathered on the steps of the Westminster hotel as she walks past. Her family moved around a lot before coming to Rhyl a few years ago. They lived at the hotel when they arrived. View image in fullscreen Sienna and Jake in one of Rhyl’s amusement arcades. ‘My mates who have jobs are all working part-time,’ she says She is a gifted athlete, but a basketball injury that required major surgery on her leg interfered with her education, pursuing sports and entering the world of work. Q&A What is the Against the tide series? Show Over the next year, the Against the Tide project from the Guardian’s Seascape team will be reporting on the lives of young people in coastal communities across England and Wales. Young people in many of England's coastal towns are disproportionately likely to face poverty, poor housing, lower educational attainment and employment opportunities than their peers in equivalent inland areas. In the most deprived coastal towns they can be left to struggle with crumbling and stripped-back public services and transport that limit their life choices. For the next 12 months, accompanied by the documentary photographer Polly Braden, we will travel up and down the country to port towns, seaside resorts and former fishing villages to ask 16- to 25-year-olds to tell us about their lives and how they feel about the places they live. By putting their voices at the front and centre of our reporting, we want to examine what kind of changes they need to build the futures they want for themselves. Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback. “It has been difficult to settle down here,” she says. “I don’t think it’s that dangerous, but you have to be careful by the bus station.” Rhyl West has topped deprivation tables in Wales for decades. Drugs and violence are significant problems in the once elegant holiday town; the ward has a crime rate of 197 for every 1,000 people – about 2.5 times the average for Wales. The violent crime rate is 88 for every 1,000, or more than double Wales’ average. View image in fullscreen Donna and Chris, both youth workers, talking to young people in the town centre about what opportunities exist in the resort The town’s young people, like so many others in coastal communities in England and Wales, leave school and often find themselves faced with few opportunities for work and little chance of finding somewhere affordable to live. “My mates who have jobs are all working part-time in shops or deliveries or tourism,” says Sienna. “Almost no one can afford to move out from their parents and get their own place. They can’t afford to leave either.” double quotation mark Our issue in Rhyl is getting people into work. Many young people lack the basics Melanie Evans, Working Denbighshire Sienna has a fiance in Northern Ireland but she does not have the money to see him very often. “We haven’t figured out how we can be together yet.” But there are tentative signs that the tide may finally be turning for Rhyl. Project Renew is working – in January, North Wales police said crime was down 14% on a year ago – and everyone the Guardian met agreed there is less drug use on the street. Years of construction work on the promenade finally finished last summer, the nearby Queen’s Market food hall, waterpark and cinema have all been recently revamped, and a neighbourhood board has been put together to decide how to spend millions allocated through the government’s Pride in Place funding. View image in fullscreen The Westminster hotel, where Sienna and her family lived for more than a year after moving to Rhyl. Several of the town’s old hotels now serve as temporary council accommodation Pride in Place, Labour’s answer to the Conservatives’ levelling up strategy, has awarded hundreds of places, many of them coastal, with £20m. The proviso is that local people, the MP, the council, businesses and community organisations must all work together on how best to spend it. Gill German, MP for Clwyd North, is keen that young people in Rhyl are involved in that process. “The youth service consulted 600 young people about what they need,” she says. “They [the young people] still don’t think the beach belongs to them – they think it’s for tourists – so we need to try to make sure they start feeling the benefits of living by the sea and those wellbeing factors [associated with that].” double quotation mark If you keep doing the same thing, you’ll keep getting the same results. We needed to do something different Melanie Evans, Working Denbighshire Researchers from University College London recently travelled up and down the English coast talking to local people for their Coastal Youth Life Chances project and concluded that one of the things that would make a difference to young people in seaside communities would be to include them in planning and decision-making. “We’ve managed to get more young people on Our Rhyl [the Pride in Place board],” says German. “Hopefully that will start connecting them to the growing opportunities [in Rhyl].” Rhyl is unusual in that it is youthful in comparison to most UK coastal towns. It is also an outlier in that the unemployment rate in Denbighshire is 4.8%, lower than the UK average of 5.2%, even though coastal areas tend to have more people out of work. “Our issue in Rhyl is getting people into work,” says Melanie Evans, of Working Denbighshire. “Many young people lack the basics, such as knowing how to talk to people in a workplace or an office, or how to dress. Those are skills we are teaching.” In 2017, Working Denbighshire consolidated more than a dozen funding streams from the Welsh government and Westminster into one pool, making it simpler to coordinate services and channel money to where it is needed most. View image in fullscreen Old photographs of Rhyl in its heyday, when it was a thriving resort for visitors from Merseyside The results are clear. In 2021, Project Barod was launched – Barod means “ready” in Welsh – offering one-to-one mentoring support in helping find work or training, workshops to help build confidence and skills, such as cooking classes and beach clean-ups, as well as classes in reading, writing and maths. When participants are ready, they can access subsidised work experience, and the project also supports people struggling to hold down a job, and those who want to retrain. double quotation mark It’s tough working with short-term funding … That lack of certainty makes it harder because young people can’t rely on us Jay McGuinness “Our thinking was: if you’re going to keep doing the same thing, you’re going to keep getting the same results,” says Evans. “We needed to do something different to break the cycle of poverty.” The number of people in education or training after support from Working Denbighshire in the first half of the 2025-26 financial year was 163, up 233% on the department’s target of 70, with 38% of those helped aged 16 to 24, by far the biggest demographic group. By his own admission, Luke, 19, did not enjoy school, and had no idea what he wanted to do when he left. After quitting a job he hated at a clothes shop, he was referred to Barod by the jobcentre. Over the past year the programme has helped him study for a roofing qualification and find work as an apprentice. View image in fullscreen Florence and another trainee flanking Steve Baxendale.

Talking to people and paperwork and exams and stuff can be overwhelming,” he says. “I never imagined I would be doing this though. Eventually, I want to run my own business and work for myself.” At a Barod pizza-making class at Use Your Loaf, a community bakery, the small group are being shown different ways to stretch and toss dough by the baker, Steve Baxendale. Florence, 25, cracks a shy smile as she throws the thin circle in the air, specks of flour spotting her glasses and apron. Health issues have prevented her from applying to university yet, although a degree in cognitive science is still the goal. “I’ve been going to workshops like these for a couple of years now,” she says. “They help with confidence. View image in fullscreen Sienna and Jake are regulars at Rhyl’s boxing club. She says it’s a highlight of her week and is now thinking of training to becoming a youth or social worker “Making something or learning something new gives me a sense of accomplishment, and it’s sometimes easier to tackle the things I need to do when I feel I’ve already done something right.” For all of Rhyl’s recent successes, some teenagers and young people are still falling through the cracks. Jay McGuinness, a social worker who trains Sienna and Jake at the Rhyl Youth Boxing Club, says one part of the job is walking around the town centre in the early evening and getting to know the young people hanging out there. The aim is to build enough trust that they might then engage with the youth centre. “We’re a non-profit, we’re not run by the council, and it’s real
