Chevron CorpDrone strikes in Strait of Hormuz may disrupt oil supply, but Chevron's exposure is not detailed.
Drone strikes on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz have revived the geopolitical risk premium in oil markets, lifting ICE Brent back to $74 per barrel. Saudi Aramco slashed its August official selling prices for Asian-bound crude by $11 per barrel, nearly double the expected cut, bringing Arab Light to a $1.50 per barrel discount to Oman/Dubai benchmarks for the first time since 2020. The cuts come as Chinese nominations for Saudi barrels collapsed to a record low of 14 million barrels in June and flows to the United States dried up completely. OPEC+ core members approved another 188,000 barrel per day production hike for August, leaving just 188,000 barrels per day of voluntary cuts in place. US Strategic Petroleum Reserve inventories fell to 319.5 million barrels, the lowest since April 1983, after a 6.2 million barrel draw.
