AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoStrait of Hormuz Standoff: Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says the Strait of Hormuz won’t reopen until the US lifts the naval blockade, oil sanctions, and unfreezes Iranian assets—while the US says it controls transits and Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it “gets in the way,” as the 60-day MoU deadline passes with talks deadlocked. Shipping & Energy Shock: Hormuz traffic stays in single digits, with attacks reported on vessels and engine-room damage after a projectile hit; the disruption is pushing Brent above $91 and keeping global supply fears front and center. War’s Industrial Fallout: Iran’s missile production continues despite the conflict, and Reuters reports Russia has started shipping explosives, ammunition, and drone parts to Iran via the Caspian Sea—deepening the supply chain for Tehran’s war effort. Iran’s Gas Output Hit: South Pars refineries suffered war damage, cutting roughly one-third of gas processing capacity and raising cold-season shortage concerns. Markets & Inflation Pressure: Bond yields surge across Europe and the US as oil climbs, reviving inflation worries and weighing on equities. Agri-Tech Note: Iranian researchers report an egg-nutrition feed mix that boosts yolk fatty acids and hens’ antioxidant status.
