Numbers Report – April 04, 2025In the latest edition of the Numbers Report, we will take a look at some of the most interesting figures put out this week in the energy and metals sectors. Each week we’ll dig into some data and provide a bit of explanation on what drives the numbers. Let’s take a look.1. OPEC+ Ambition Catches Oil Markets By Surprise - In the wake of Donald Trump’s import tariff announcements, the meeting of OPEC+ ministers was widely expected to be a roll-over of existing policies, however, under the guidance…

The Iraqi Oil Ministry is calling for an urgent meeting to discuss the long-awaited and delayed resumption of oil exports from the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan, state media reported on Friday. In February, Iraq and Kurdistan appeared to be close to agreeing on all technical and financial details about resuming exports in March. Oil exports from Kurdistan have now been halted for more than two years after they have been shut in since March 2023 due to a dispute over who should authorize the Kurdish exports. After more than a year of…

The most oft-quoted, some would say over-quoted phrase in trading and investment analysis is Warren Buffett’s entreaty to be “Fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when they are fearful”. In part, that overuse may be because those like me that write on the subject are often not particularly original thinkers, but it is also because it is a succinct way of saying something that is blindingly obvious, but which human nature makes it very hard to adhere to. We should all sell into rallies and buy on dips, but we tend to do the…

WTI crude came under heavy selling pressure Thursday after the U.S. rolled out a sweeping tariff package that sparked immediate fears of slower global growth and weaker oil demand. Traders weren’t reacting to the direct impact on crude—oil and refined products were excluded—but to the ripple effect across the broader economy. A 10% minimum import tariff on nearly all goods landed like a hammer. It raised the prospect of retaliatory moves, costlier trade, and softer consumption—all red flags for fuel demand. The market didn’t…

Politics, Geopolitics, & Conflict Israeli forces advanced into Rafah this week, establishing a new "security zone" and effectively pushing out residents who had taken refuge there. This is a major escalation since the ceasefire ended early last month. The Israeli move was to set up a new corridor in southern Gaza aimed at severing the link between Khan Younis and Rafah. Netanyahu described the operation as "cutting up the strip". Earlier, Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a warning about an imminent large-scale expansion of military operations,…

This week saw oil prices tank more than 10% as President Donald Trump’s tariffs went into effect. A single-day drop of more than 7% in global oil prices is rare but not unheard of. It usually signals something dramatic: the spectre of war (directly involving the U.S.), pandemics, cartel infighting, or, in this case, the first new salvo in a brewing global trade war.  We have been here before, and not that long ago. In fact, we have been here, exactly, during Trump’s first crack at the tariff arena.  We count six incidents/events…
