AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoGulf Logistics Under Strain: Iran says it will reopen a limited Strait of Hormuz route for “cooperating” commercial parties—while charging fees—just as a drone strike hit the UAE’s Barakah nuclear plant, raising new uncertainty for energy and shipping schedules. Route Diversification: Sharjah and Oman kicked off a land-and-sea integrated corridor (Sharjah Port Khalid to Sohar via Khatmat Malaha), with customs handled at border crossings to cut time and cost; meanwhile, Hormuz disruption continues pushing cargo toward pipelines and rail. Energy Cost Pressure: Moody’s expects Brent to stay in the $90–110 range through 2026, with slow, bilateral “safe passage” rather than a full reopening. On-the-Ground Proof: A 20,000-tonne LPG shipment reached Kandla after transiting the strait earlier this month—highlighting how narrow windows still matter. Regional Resilience Moves: Qatar topped the 2026 Food Systems Resilience Index, citing logistics and electricity reliability. Business Continuity: ADNOC’s listed companies posted $11.8bn Q1 revenue, stressing supply continuity despite Hormuz volatility.
