Golden Ten Data reported on March 5 that Asia's increasingly severe energy crisis is affecting every corner of the oil market. Suppliers ranging from marine fuel to cooking gas have begun to cut sales in response to shrinking inventories. According to informed sources, marine fuel suppliers in Singapore, the world's largest ship refueling port, have notified clients that due to reduced oil volumes from their own suppliers, they will only fulfill part of their established orders. In South Korea, petrochemical producer Yeochun NCC has declared force majeure on some of its sales due to interruptions in naphtha feedstock deliveries. India, one of the most severely affected markets, is negotiating with producers. However, since US supplies are too distant, there are almost no alternative options to fill the gap, meaning some countries may be forced to implement some form of rationing. Facing painful high oil and fuel prices, Bangladesh is already preparing to reduce supply at gas stations and has asked citizens to avoid unnecessary private travel.

According to two sources familiar with the matter, the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) production line under the "North Field East" expansion project by QatarEnergy is now ready and about to start operation, with the first batch of natural gas expected to be produced in November. This could provide Qatar with a way to restore some of the output lost due to attacks from Iran.

BUZZ - Citi upgrades XPO rating to "Buy" due to increased market share and strong pricing power

October 7 - Citigroup has upgraded logistics company XPO (XPO.N) from “Neutral” to “Buy,” and raised its target price to $224, indicating an upside potential of about 22% from the previous trading day’s closing price. The brokerage stated that the upgrade was made after the stock declined from the $230 range to its current level of $183 per share. It also added that the recent broad pullback in the transportation sector has created a "more favorable risk-reward setup" for the third-quarter earnings season. Citigroup noted, "Notably, XPO has been particularly optimistic about its Q3 earnings, expecting an opportunity to gain market share and maintain pricing power." Among 26 brokerages, 19 rate the stock "Buy" or above, 6 rate it "Hold," and 1 rates it "Sell"; the median target price is $238 according to data compiled by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). As of yesterday’s close, the stock had risen 35% year-to-date.
