According to S&P Global, oil inventories at the United Arab Emirates’ Fujairah storage hub collapsed to 6.982 million barrels on April 29, marking a 6.3% week-on-week decline and the fourth consecutive record low since the Iran-Israel conflict escalated. The storage center has plummeted approximately 66% from pre-conflict levels, according to Fujairah Oil Industry Zone data.
Concurrently, Brent crude surged to $115 per barrel, its highest level since June 2022, driven by escalating Iran-Israel tensions and concerns over potential disruptions to critical shipping lanes. Heavy distillates fell 14% to 3.058 million barrels, while light distillates dropped 2.7% to 2.680 million barrels, both hitting record lows.

Brent trades above 114, WTI +3.3%: Trump plans to expand the blockade of Iranian ports
On 4/29, oil prices continued to rise, with Brent breaking through $114 and WTI reaching $103.18. The main reason is that the Trump administration is seen as planning to expand the blockade of Iranian ports and to crack down on exports; since 2/28, WTI has risen by more than 49%. If a port blockade were to become reality, global supply is unlikely to improve in the short term; next, the outlook depends on U.S. announcements, Iran’s response, and whether Brent will break above 120 again.
