  • Iran closes vital shipping route Strait of Hormuz & vows to set fire to any ship trying to pass

    From thesun.co.uk

    A raging IRGC Advisor, Brigadier General Sardar Ebrahim Jabbari, announced the closure after three days of US-Israeli strikes on Tehran. He declared: “Strait of Hormuz is closed. “Anyone who wants to pass, our self-sacrificing heroes in the IRGC Navy and the Army will set those ships on fire. “Don’t come to this region. We will not allow a single drop of oil to leave the region.” However, it remains unclear whether Iran can make good on this threat given any move will likely provoke a massive naval and air response from the US. The United States has already claimed to have destroyed 11 Iranian warships, ... (full story)

21 million barrels a day. If this holds for a month, Brent/WTI will hit $100. US shale can make up an extra half million if extended past one months, Venezuela is ramping up but won’t be able to add anything in the short term. Saudi Arabia maybe has an extra million, but doesn’t have the capacity to get it all to the Red Sea is straights remain closed. The barrels don’t exist

Go fill up your tanks. We will hit $100 by April unless there is a resolution. You can’t print barrels.

    RBA's Bullock: Listening to Australians, Interpreting the Data and Setting Monetary Policy

    From rba.gov.au|Mar 2, 2026|2 comments

    I would like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we meet and pay my respects to Elders past and present. I extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people joining us today. Thank you for having me today. This is an important opportunity to reflect on the forces shaping the Australian economy, how these forces are shifting, and how the Monetary Policy Board is responding. Since the middle of last year, inflationary pressures have picked up, partly because capacity pressures have been stronger than we previously assessed. With underlying inflation now expected to enter the 2–3 per cent range in mid-2027 and the labour market still somewhat tight, the Board was unanimous in its decision to raise the cash rate in February. Today I will set out why the Board judged a rate rise to be necessary in February, how it supports our monetary policy strategy, and how we make decisions even when uncertainty is elevated. I also want to explain why listening directly to Australian households and businesses is an essential input to our decision-making. RBA GOVERNOR BULLOCK SAYS INDICATORS SHOW LABOUR MARKET REMAINS TIGHT; BOARD UNCERTAIN IF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS ARE RESTRICTIVE ENOUGH TO RETURN INFLATION TO TARGET MIDPOINT RBA'S GOV. BULLOCK: THE BOARD REMAINS FOCUSED ON RETURNING INFLATION TO TARGET. ... RBA's Gov. Bullock: Underlying demand in the economy is further from supply potential than we had assessed.
