🛢⚡️ — The world oil market will recover gradually following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, before tipping into a significant surplus in 2027, the International Energy Agency says in its monthly oil market report.

➡️ The deal could end the supply disruption that shut in over 14 million barrels per day of output — Iranian oil exports can fully resume once the US naval blockade is lifted.

➡️ Strait shipments were already rising in early June, supported by ship-to-ship transfers in the Gulf of Oman, climbing from a May low of 9.6 mb/d to approximately 12 mb/d.

➡️ Full recovery will not be immediate — mines must be cleared from main shipping lanes and supply chains will take time to normalize, the IEA warns.

🇺🇸🇱🇾⚡️— NEW: Trump adviser Massad Boulos tells the Financial Times the US is working to broker a power-sharing deal between Libya’s rival eastern and western administrations to create “one unified government” while pushing US oil investment.

➡️ The plan would place Saddam Haftar, son of eastern Libya’s warlord, as head of a presidential council, while western PM Dbeibeh remains in his post.

➡️ Boulos says Libyan oil production could double to 3 million barrels per day by end of decade, with ConocoPhillips and Chevron already signing agreements in 2026.

➡️ Analysts are deeply skeptical — calling it “wishful thinking” given deep mistrust between the two sides and the Haftar family’s historical refusal to share power.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
