AFP•3 hours agoHong Kong rallies after extradition law U-turn as Asian markets bounce
Hong Kong stocks rallied Monday, leading most Asian markets higher after last week's losses, with investors cheering a decision by the city to suspend plans to push through a controversial extradition law. Investors are also moving cautiously ahead of two huge market-moving events: the Federal Reserve policy meeting this week with its plans for interest rates in focus, and the G20 summit next week where Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping are due to hold trade talks. Investors returned to buying in Hong Kong after three days of losses that saw the Hang Seng drop more than two percent after protests against the law -- which would have allowed extradition to China -- turned violent Wednesday.

FreightWaves Oil Report: Some Words Of Assurance On IMO 2020 Supplies From A Veteran Oil Trader
To quickly recap the rule, it will restrict the amount of sulfur in marine fuel to 0.5 percent from the current cap of 3.5 percent. Winstone's presentation was one that a trucking company unfamiliar with all the moving parts of the refinery process would be hard-pressed to follow, as he talked about the complex price relationships among the dozens of petroleum process that come out of a refinery. Scrubbers are onboard installations that "scrub" sulfur out of emissions, enabling ships to keep burning the high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) they're burning now and still stay in compliance with IMO 2020.

Oil Price Fundamental Weekly Forecast – Demand Concerns Outweighing Supply Worries
Over the long-run a direct U.S.-Iran conflict would likely lead to the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz. This poses a higher risk of oil-supply disruption, which could lead to sharply higher prices. Therefore, we may continue to see attacks, but until there is a military response to the attacks, which would lead to actual supply disruptions, any gains are likely to be limited.

Saudi Arabia Seeks to Balance Global Crude Markets Before 2020
The comments come a day after the International Energy Agency forecast global supplies will expand far more than demand next year, putting further pressure on OPEC. Saudi Arabia and its allies, including Russia, are expected to extend output cuts into the second half of this year, despite growing tension within the group and gridlock over its next meeting date. “I hope that we will balance the market before next year, we are working on it,” Khalid Al-Falih told reporters on the sidelines of a G20 ministerial meeting on energy and the environment in Karuizawa, Japan, on Saturday.

South Korea stops Iranian oil imports in May as sanction waivers end
South Korea halted all imports of Iranian oil in May, customs data showed on Saturday, as waivers on U.S. sanctions against Iran ended at the start of last month. The world's fifth-largest crude oil importer was among countries granted six-month waivers by the United States in November last year, and resumed Iranian oil imports from January this year after a four-month hiatus. SK Innovation, the owner of South Korea's top refiner SK Energy and petrochemical maker SK Incheon Petrochem, said in late May that it has been replacing Iranian condensate with crude oil from other sources, including Qatar and Russia.

"We strongly call for nations to do what they can to de-escalate tensions and ensure the safe passage of merchant shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” said Angus Frew, Secretary General & CEO of BIMCO, the world’s largest international shipping association.

Global Economy: Rising oil prices add to global economic strife
Escalating tension in the Middle East is driving up oil prices, a huge import cost for many economies, putting more strain on global growth already hurt by the trade war being waged by U.S. President Donald Trump and weakening consumer confidence. Crude oil prices spiked more than 4% after two oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday, just a month after strikes on tankers in the United Arab Emirates and oil-pumping stations in Saudi Arabia. Trump, meanwhile, has been fighting a trade war against China and is beginning to turn his attention to other trading partners, a policy likely to raise the chances of a recession both at home and abroad.
