Saudi Aramco reroutes exports to Persian Gulf, easing supply fears; Brent dips below $105
Saudi Aramco has shifted all crude loadings to the Persian Gulf, mitigating immediate supply disruption concerns after the East-West pipeline outage. The move reduces but does not eliminate risk, as shipments from Ras Tanura remain exposed to potential Iranian drone strikes in the Strait of Hormuz. Brent fell below $105, reflecting a partial de-escalation of last week's panic pricing.

Saudi Aramco Halts October Crude Allocations to Europe After Pipeline Attack
Saudi Aramco has confirmed the cancellation of October crude allocations to European refiners, with some reports indicating zero allocations, following a drone attack on the East-West pipeline. This action redirects approximately 60 million barrels through the Persian Gulf, tightening European crude availability and potentially impacting regional refining margins. The full extent of pipeline damage and the duration of the supply disruption remain uncertain.
