Oil prices are approaching 94 USD/barrel, is the world entering a new energy shock similar to 2022?
The global energy market continues to heat up today as oil prices increase sharply due to tense developments in the Middle East. Brent oil has exceeded 93.8 USD/barrel while WTI reached more than 90 USD/barrel. Natural gas also increased more than 2.6%, reflecting concerns about global supply.

THE MIDDLE EAST CONTINUES TO BE THE FOCUS
The war involving Iran has completely changed the global energy picture in the past 90 days. Many oil and condensate supplies were interrupted, causing world inventories to decline rapidly. Signs of fuel shortages have begun to appear in some parts of Asia.
Tensions continued to escalate as Israel expanded its military campaign in Lebanon while the US conducted air strikes against Iranian targets. Major energy companies warn that the risk of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is still very high.

GOLDMAN SACHS MARKET WARNING
Goldman Sachs believes that the risk of declining consumer demand can partly offset supply shocks. However, many experts still believe that oil inventories are worryingly low.
Some leaders of ExxonMobil and Chevron even warned that Brent oil prices could increase to 150-160 USD/barrel if supply continues to be disrupted in the coming weeks.
THE GLOBAL LNG WAVE IS ACCELERATING
The US continues to expand LNG exports and affirm its position as the world's leading natural gas power. However, China is implementing a long-term energy strategy to reduce dependence on imported LNG.
Asian countries such as Japan, India and the Philippines are increasing supply diversification to reduce risks from fluctuations in the Middle East.
RENEWABLE ENERGY IS ACCELERATING
Besides fossil fuels, the race to build the world's largest solar power farms is going strong.
Highlights stand out
• Cuba promotes solar power to solve the electricity crisis.
• Morocco emerges as a new renewable energy superpower.
• Huge-scale solar power projects are continuously announced in the Middle East and Africa.
NUCLEAR POWER IS BACK
The UK is driving a nuclear renaissance but faces growing cost pressures.
In the US, spent nuclear fuel is being researched as a solution to reduce dependence on uranium imported from Russia.
