Oil buffers drained, Ryanair pay freeze

· Fact-checked before it aired. Unconfirmed claims from this segment are not shown.

ADNOC CEO Sultan Al Jaber said at the ADIPEC conference that nearly 1 billion barrels of oil have been drained from global inventories since the US-Israeli war on Iran disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Diesel stockpiles in some regions are at 35-year seasonal lows, and some areas face an LNG supply gap of about 600 billion cubic feet. Brent crude is around $110 a barrel, up about 50% from February before the war.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical energy chokepoint, and wartime shipping disruptions have squeezed refined-product supply and forced heavy draws on inventories. Al Jaber said shipping and logistics costs have climbed from about 5% of a barrel before the war to about 30%, making delivery a bigger part of energy-security risk.

ADNOC CEO Sultan Al Jaber said nearly 1 billion barrels of global oil inventories have been drained since the US-Israeli war on Iran disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, with diesel stocks in some areas at 35-year seasonal lows and logistics costs up to about 30% of a barrel.

Ryanair said it may freeze staff pay and make other cost cuts because jet-fuel costs have surged, and it expects double-digit airfare increases next year but not enough to cover a projected €2 billion jump in its fuel bill.

SNow Reuters reports Ryanair may freeze staff pay to offset fuel costs.
EThe airline expects double-digit fare increases next year.

SNot if fuel costs keep rising. That pressure lands on shipping, travel, everything.
EFair, but Apple can protect its margins. Airlines can't.
SExactly why Ryanair's warning matters most for travelers.
EEnergy costs are the thread through all of it. We'll watch how markets digest it.
