The UAE is out with a statement condemning the attack as one of its ADNOC crude oil tanker was targeted by two Iranian drones off the coast of Oman. It is reported that no crew members were injured and that the vessel was not carrying any cargo at the time.This follows the he said, she said episode between the US and Iran on missiles being fired at a US warship. Iran media has said that it has prevented US warships from entering the strait while the US has categorically denied the news, saying that Iran is “making stuff up”.Either way, things do not look great. If Iran is holding tight control over the strait still, then there is really no further progress since last week. And if the US does manage to make some inroad, it’s not much as noted earlier here. And even then, the terms for crossing are pretty risky as noted in the linked post.”The UKMTO says that vessels choosing to transit with the US’ help should consider routing via Oman’s territorial waters south of the TSS. However, they also warn that mariners should expect increased naval presence, enhanced force protection postures, and potential VHF hailing if they are to proceed.”It’s not as great or hopeful as what markets would like to think, I’m afraid.

💡 DMK Insight
The attack on the ADNOC tanker could shake oil markets, and here’s why: geopolitical tensions are already high in the region. While the immediate impact seems limited since the tanker was empty and no injuries were reported, traders should keep an eye on crude oil prices, especially if this escalates. The UAE’s condemnation signals potential military or economic responses, which could disrupt supply routes. If tensions rise, we might see Brent crude testing resistance levels around $90 per barrel. Additionally, watch for reactions from major oil producers and any shifts in OPEC+ strategies. This situation could ripple through related markets, like energy stocks and ETFs, as investors reassess risk. On the flip side, if the situation de-escalates quickly, we might see a short-term dip in oil prices as traders take profits. Keep an eye on the news cycle and any updates from the UAE or Iran, as these could provide critical signals for your trading strategy.
📮 Takeaway
Monitor Brent crude prices around $90; any escalation in tensions could push prices higher, while de-escalation might lead to short-term dips.
