1 t sittenGas Prices Surge Toward €60 as Iran Conflict Threatens Qatar’s LNG Lifeline European gas has surged through July. The Dutch TTF benchmark has climbed from roughly €40/MWh in late June to around €60/MWh, a gain of more than 50% in under three weeks, after the US-Iran ceasefire collapsed and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz escalated. TTF reached its highest level in nearly four months on 17 July, up more than 45% month on month and roughly 75% year on year. UK gas has followed the move, trading near 134p/therm. The key risk is Qatar. As the world’s largest LNG exporter, any disruption to exports from the Ras Laffan complex would remove volumes that the market cannot easily replace. There is no comparable swing supplier available on short notice. Around one fifth of global LNG trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making the region a critical chokepoint for global gas markets. Compounding the situation, EU gas storage stands near 47% of capacity versus 56% a year ago, leaving Europe with thinner reserves ahead of winter and forcing buyers to compete more aggressively for available LNG cargoes. This remains a geopolitical risk premium rather than a structural market shift. TTF traded near €70/MWh in March, fell to around €40/MWh in June, and has now rebounded toward €60/MWh. Price action is likely to remain highly sensitive to developments in the Gulf. For Equinor investors, the key takeaway is clear: sustained geopolitical risk in the Gulf supports European gas prices and LNG fundamentals, which could strengthen Equinor’s earnings if elevated prices persist.

Geopolitical events can change rapidly, and markets may react differently than expected.1 t sittenEquinor’s Pipeline Gas Is Europe’s Hormuz-Proof Winter Advantage European gas storage stands at roughly 51 to 53% full versus a seasonal norm of around 75%. Even if the EU lowers its formal storage target from 90% to 80%, inventories are still expected to enter winter well below recent years. That leaves Europe with a thinner buffer just as geopolitical risks remain elevated. Physically insulated from Hormuz. Around 95% of Norwegian gas exports reach Europe through subsea pipelines rather than LNG tankers. That means the vast majority of Equinor’s gas exports avoid the Strait of Hormuz and other maritime chokepoints that are driving today’s risk premium. Qatar remains a key uncertainty. Qatar is the world’s largest LNG exporter, and any prolonged disruption to its export capacity would be difficult to replace. In addition, delays to the North Field East expansion project postpone a significant increase in global LNG supply, keeping the market tighter than previously expected. The investment case. For Equinor, natural gas is arguably the key earnings driver. The bullish case rests on three pillars: secure pipeline deliveries to Europe, tighter global LNG fundamentals, and increasing production from the Troll field toward 2030. One brokerage forecasts TTF gas prices averaging €55/MWh in 2026, falling to €47 in 2027 and €42 in 2028, still well above pre energy crisis levels. Risks to watch. US LNG export capacity is expected to expand significantly through 2030, which could gradually ease global gas prices. A political settlement that allows meaningful Russian gas flows back into Europe would also reduce the scarcity premium currently supporting Norwegian gas. Bottom line: As long as geopolitical tensions in the Gulf persist and LNG markets remain tight, Equinor is uniquely positioned as Europe’s largest supplier of secure pipeline gas. That advantage could translate into stronger earnings, although the tailwind is unlikely to be permanent.

- 8 t sittenBrent closing in on $90 as Iran opens a second front. EQNR reports Wednesday. Eyes on! Brent is racing toward $90, up more than 14% this week to around $88, as the US-Iran standoff around the Strait of Hormuz escalates. The move has fully reversed June’s ceasefire rally in less than three weeks. The bigger shift is in the shipping risk. Reuters reported on July 16, citing three sources, that Iran has instructed Houthi forces in Yemen to stand ready to close Bab el-Mandeb, the Red Sea gateway, if the US strikes Iranian power infrastructure. Missiles and drones are reportedly already positioned near the strait awaiting such an order. If carried out, this would place two of the world’s most important oil chokepoints under simultaneous threat, a materially different scenario from a Hormuz-only disruption. Equinor reports Q2 earnings on Wednesday, July 22, directly into this backdrop. With elevated oil and gas prices, an ongoing $3 billion 2026 share buyback programme and a capital return framework focused on growing shareholder distributions over time, the report comes at a particularly interesting moment for investors.

- 10 t sittenA Nuclear Arms Race Brewing in the Middle East? CNN reported on July 18 that the Trump administration has tentatively agreed to let Saudi Arabia enrich uranium domestically, without requiring the kingdom to adopt the IAEA's Additional Protocol — its strongest verification standard. The so-called 123 agreement still hasn't been sent to Congress for the legally required review, and Trump hasn't signed it yet. This isn't an isolated story. It's the latest chapter in a trend that has nonproliferation experts increasingly using the word "arms race" for the region. The backdrop After Israel struck Iran's nuclear facilities in June 2025, and a larger joint US-Israel strike followed in February 2026, the IAEA Board of Governors declared in June 2026 — for the first time in roughly 20 years — that Iran is in breach of its NPT safeguards obligations. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has signed a mutual defense pact with nuclear-armed Pakistan, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has repeatedly said the kingdom will "match" Iran if Tehran acquires a weapon. What the experts are saying Kelsey Davenport, Director for Nonproliferation Policy at the Arms Control Association, wrote in February 2026 that the US appears likely to support Saudi efforts to acquire fissile-material production capability this year, despite repeated Saudi threats to build weapons to match an Iranian deterrent — and that this raises the risk of future weaponization. A separate ACA brief concluded the administration conceded on key nonproliferation requirements to close the deal. The Congressional Research Service confirms the underlying tension: Saudi Arabia has explicitly said it wants domestic enrichment capability, while the US has historically required partners to forgo exactly that before civil nuclear cooperation can proceed. Why enrichment is the crux Enrichment is dual-use. Civilian reactors need low-enriched uranium (3–5%); weapons need highly enriched uranium (90%+) — but it's the same centrifuges and the same expertise, just more cycles. Without the Additional Protocol, it becomes significantly harder to detect early if enriched material moves beyond declared civilian use. That's precisely the gap experts point to when comparing this deal unfavorably to the "gold standard" agreement the US struck with the UAE, where Abu Dhabi gave up enrichment entirely. Where things stand Neither country has a confirmed, active weapons program. But the building blocks that would make a future political decision to weaponize faster to execute — enrichment facilities, technical expertise, defense pacts with nuclear powers, and rhetoric about "matching" the rival — are accumulating on both sides. It's this dynamic, more than any confirmed bomb under construction, that has multiple expert institutions now describing an early phase of a regional arms race. Discussion: How likely do you think it is that the 123 agreement actually gets signed and sent to Congress in its current form — and what would that mean for regional stability over the next 2–3 years?

- ·3 päivää sittenBrent Crude: Hormuz escalation sends oil price up – and OPEC+ meets August 2 with the wrong map in hand Brent crude has had an intense week. After trading around 72 dollars early in July, when the situation in the Strait of Hormuz seemed to calm down, the price is now back over 84-85 dollars a barrel – with a single-day jump of almost 10 % mid-week. It is worth pausing to look at what is driving the movement, because the technical signals diverge sharply depending on the time horizon, and fundamentally we are in a situation that can develop quickly in both directions. Technical: short-term strength, medium-term break Investtech's medium-term analysis shows that the rising trend channel that was intact from last autumn is now broken, with sales targets down towards 71.50 / 66 / 60 if the war premium disappears again. At the same time, short-term momentum indicators (hour/day) show a clear "Strong Buy" picture, because they capture this week's vertical movement. It is not really a contradiction – it is two different time windows measuring two different things. Medium-term structure is weakened after the fall from the April peak, while short-term price action reflects that the market is currently pricing in war in real-time. Fundamental: The Hormuz crisis is far from over 2026 Hormuz crisis has been ongoing since February 28, but the last week has been the most intense phase in a long time. The USA has carried out several rounds of attacks against Iranian military targets along the coast and near the strait, after Iran shot at a ship and declared the strait closed. Wednesday was the fifth consecutive night of American attacks, aimed at Iran's ability to threaten shipping in the strait, and Iran simultaneously claims to have disabled two tankers. One single day this week saw Brent rise almost 10 % on fears of a real blockade. EIA also reported that US crude oil inventories fell by 1.7 million barrels last week, which provides some extra support in addition to the war premium. OPEC+ meets August 2 – with an outdated premise What makes this extra interesting: OPEC+ decided on July 5 a production increase of 188,000 barrels/day from August, and the justification was explicitly that exports through Hormuz seemed to be improving and that the war premium was decreasing. That decision was thus made on a premise that has been completely turned on its head in the last ten days. The next ordinary meeting is August 2, and it will be an important crossroads: does the group continue the gradual ramp-up as planned (they still have about 379,000 barrels/day left to reverse of the old cuts), or do they slow down given that the assumption of a calmer situation in the strait no longer holds? An OPEC+ that increases supply into an escalating Hormuz crisis will be a reminder of how quickly fundamental narratives can become outdated in this market. Connection to the precious metals framework This is exactly the type of shock that moves through the chain geopolitics → oil → inflation expectations → Fed → real interest rates → silver/gold that I have followed through the spring. The question now is whether a sustained oil spike translates into renewed inflationary pressure (headwind for precious metals via an already hawkish Fed under Warsh), or if geopolitical risk triggers enough safe haven demand to offset it – the same dynamic that affected silver prices earlier this year.

And how much of today's oil price is actually a war premium that can disappear as quickly as it came? Disclaimer: This is not investment advice, only my own observations about the market.

At the same time, short-term momentum indicators (hour/day) show a clear "Strong Buy" picture, because they capture this week's vertical movement. It is not really a contradiction – it is two different time windows measuring two different things. Medium-term structure is weakened after the fall from the April peak, while short-term price action reflects that the market is currently pricing in war in real-time. Fundamental: The Hormuz crisis is far from over 2026 Hormuz crisis has been ongoing since February 28, but the last week has been the most intense phase in a long time. The USA has carried out several rounds of attacks against Iranian military targets along the coast and near the strait, after Iran shot at a ship and declared the strait closed. Wednesday was the fifth consecutive night of American attacks, aimed at Iran's ability to threaten shipping in the strait, and Iran simultaneously claims to have disabled two tankers. One single day this week saw Brent rise almost 10 % on fears of a real blockade. EIA also reported that US crude oil inventories fell by 1.7 million barrels last week, which provides some extra support in addition to the war premium. OPEC+ meets August 2 – with an outdated premise What makes this extra interesting: OPEC+ decided on July 5 a production increase of 188,000 barrels/day from August, and the justification was explicitly that exports through Hormuz seemed to be improving and that the war premium was decreasing. That decision was thus made on a premise that has been completely turned on its head in the last ten days. The next ordinary meeting is August 2, and it will be an important crossroads: does the group continue the gradual ramp-up as planned (they still have about 379,000 barrels/day left to reverse of the old cuts), or do they slow down given that the assumption of a calmer situation in the strait no longer holds? An OPEC+ that increases supply into an escalating Hormuz crisis will be a reminder of how quickly fundamental narratives can become outdated in this market. Connection to the precious metals framework This is exactly the type of shock that moves through the chain geopolitics → oil → inflation expectations → Fed → real interest rates → silver/gold that I have followed through the spring. The question now is whether a sustained oil spike translates into renewed inflationary pressure (headwind for precious metals via an already hawkish Fed under Warsh), or if geopolitical risk triggers enough safe haven demand to offset it – the same dynamic that affected silver prices earlier this year.

- 1 t sittenGas Prices Surge Toward €60 as Iran Conflict Threatens Qatar’s LNG Lifeline European gas has surged through July. The Dutch TTF benchmark has climbed from roughly €40/MWh in late June to around €60/MWh, a gain of more than 50% in under three weeks, after the US-Iran ceasefire collapsed and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz escalated. TTF reached its highest level in nearly four months on 17 July, up more than 45% month on month and roughly 75% year on year. UK gas has followed the move, trading near 134p/therm. The key risk is Qatar. As the world’s largest LNG exporter, any disruption to exports from the Ras Laffan complex would remove volumes that the market cannot easily replace. There is no comparable swing supplier available on short notice. Around one fifth of global LNG trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making the region a critical chokepoint for global gas markets. Compounding the situation, EU gas storage stands near 47% of capacity versus 56% a year ago, leaving Europe with thinner reserves ahead of winter and forcing buyers to compete more aggressively for available LNG cargoes. This remains a geopolitical risk premium rather than a structural market shift. TTF traded near €70/MWh in March, fell to around €40/MWh in June, and has now rebounded toward €60/MWh. Price action is likely to remain highly sensitive to developments in the Gulf. For Equinor investors, the key takeaway is clear: sustained geopolitical risk in the Gulf supports European gas prices and LNG fundamentals, which could strengthen Equinor’s earnings if elevated prices persist.

Geopolitical events can change rapidly, and markets may react differently than expected.1 t sittenEquinor’s Pipeline Gas Is Europe’s Hormuz-Proof Winter Advantage European gas storage stands at roughly 51 to 53% full versus a seasonal norm of around 75%. Even if the EU lowers its formal storage target from 90% to 80%, inventories are still expected to enter winter well below recent years. That leaves Europe with a thinner buffer just as geopolitical risks remain elevated. Physically insulated from Hormuz. Around 95% of Norwegian gas exports reach Europe through subsea pipelines rather than LNG tankers. That means the vast majority of Equinor’s gas exports avoid the Strait of Hormuz and other maritime chokepoints that are driving today’s risk premium. Qatar remains a key uncertainty. Qatar is the world’s largest LNG exporter, and any prolonged disruption to its export capacity would be difficult to replace. In addition, delays to the North Field East expansion project postpone a significant increase in global LNG supply, keeping the market tighter than previously expected. The investment case. For Equinor, natural gas is arguably the key earnings driver. The bullish case rests on three pillars: secure pipeline deliveries to Europe, tighter global LNG fundamentals, and increasing production from the Troll field toward 2030. One brokerage forecasts TTF gas prices averaging €55/MWh in 2026, falling to €47 in 2027 and €42 in 2028, still well above pre energy crisis levels. Risks to watch. US LNG export capacity is expected to expand significantly through 2030, which could gradually ease global gas prices. A political settlement that allows meaningful Russian gas flows back into Europe would also reduce the scarcity premium currently supporting Norwegian gas. Bottom line: As long as geopolitical tensions in the Gulf persist and LNG markets remain tight, Equinor is uniquely positioned as Europe’s largest supplier of secure pipeline gas. That advantage could translate into stronger earnings, although the tailwind is unlikely to be permanent.

- ·3 t sitten– The longer the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and the conflict escalates, the greater the risk that the oil price must rise towards 150 dollars a barrel to balance supply and demand. That is not our main scenario, but the risk is significant, says investment strategist Shane Oliver at AMP to Reuters.
- 8 t sittenBrent closing in on $90 as Iran opens a second front. EQNR reports Wednesday. Eyes on! Brent is racing toward $90, up more than 14% this week to around $88, as the US-Iran standoff around the Strait of Hormuz escalates. The move has fully reversed June’s ceasefire rally in less than three weeks. The bigger shift is in the shipping risk. Reuters reported on July 16, citing three sources, that Iran has instructed Houthi forces in Yemen to stand ready to close Bab el-Mandeb, the Red Sea gateway, if the US strikes Iranian power infrastructure. Missiles and drones are reportedly already positioned near the strait awaiting such an order. If carried out, this would place two of the world’s most important oil chokepoints under simultaneous threat, a materially different scenario from a Hormuz-only disruption. Equinor reports Q2 earnings on Wednesday, July 22, directly into this backdrop. With elevated oil and gas prices, an ongoing $3 billion 2026 share buyback programme and a capital return framework focused on growing shareholder distributions over time, the report comes at a particularly interesting moment for investors.

- 10 t sittenA Nuclear Arms Race Brewing in the Middle East? CNN reported on July 18 that the Trump administration has tentatively agreed to let Saudi Arabia enrich uranium domestically, without requiring the kingdom to adopt the IAEA's Additional Protocol — its strongest verification standard. The so-called 123 agreement still hasn't been sent to Congress for the legally required review, and Trump hasn't signed it yet. This isn't an isolated story. It's the latest chapter in a trend that has nonproliferation experts increasingly using the word "arms race" for the region. The backdrop After Israel struck Iran's nuclear facilities in June 2025, and a larger joint US-Israel strike followed in February 2026, the IAEA Board of Governors declared in June 2026 — for the first time in roughly 20 years — that Iran is in breach of its NPT safeguards obligations. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has signed a mutual defense pact with nuclear-armed Pakistan, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has repeatedly said the kingdom will "match" Iran if Tehran acquires a weapon. What the experts are saying Kelsey Davenport, Director for Nonproliferation Policy at the Arms Control Association, wrote in February 2026 that the US appears likely to support Saudi efforts to acquire fissile-material production capability this year, despite repeated Saudi threats to build weapons to match an Iranian deterrent — and that this raises the risk of future weaponization. A separate ACA brief concluded the administration conceded on key nonproliferation requirements to close the deal. The Congressional Research Service confirms the underlying tension: Saudi Arabia has explicitly said it wants domestic enrichment capability, while the US has historically required partners to forgo exactly that before civil nuclear cooperation can proceed. Why enrichment is the crux Enrichment is dual-use. Civilian reactors need low-enriched uranium (3–5%); weapons need highly enriched uranium (90%+) — but it's the same centrifuges and the same expertise, just more cycles. Without the Additional Protocol, it becomes significantly harder to detect early if enriched material moves beyond declared civilian use. That's precisely the gap experts point to when comparing this deal unfavorably to the "gold standard" agreement the US struck with the UAE, where Abu Dhabi gave up enrichment entirely. Where things stand Neither country has a confirmed, active weapons program. But the building blocks that would make a future political decision to weaponize faster to execute — enrichment facilities, technical expertise, defense pacts with nuclear powers, and rhetoric about "matching" the rival — are accumulating on both sides. It's this dynamic, more than any confirmed bomb under construction, that has multiple expert institutions now describing an early phase of a regional arms race. Discussion: How likely do you think it is that the 123 agreement actually gets signed and sent to Congress in its current form — and what would that mean for regional stability over the next 2–3 years?

- ·3 päivää sittenBrent Crude: Hormuz escalation sends oil price up – and OPEC+ meets August 2 with the wrong map in hand Brent crude has had an intense week. After trading around 72 dollars early in July, when the situation in the Strait of Hormuz seemed to calm down, the price is now back over 84-85 dollars a barrel – with a single-day jump of almost 10 % mid-week. It is worth pausing to look at what is driving the movement, because the technical signals diverge sharply depending on the time horizon, and fundamentally we are in a situation that can develop quickly in both directions. Technical: short-term strength, medium-term break Investtech's medium-term analysis shows that the rising trend channel that was intact from last autumn is now broken, with sales targets down towards 71.50 / 66 / 60 if the war premium disappears again. At the same time, short-term momentum indicators (hour/day) show a clear "Strong Buy" picture, because they capture this week's vertical movement. It is not really a contradiction – it is two different time windows measuring two different things.
