Yes, regional disruptions are still impacting shipping flows in Hormuz, but some vessels have been spotted strutting the strait. Does this mean Hormuz is open? Well, not quite. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Plus:<\/strong> Israeli flows to Egypt from the Leviathan and Tamar gas fields have returned to pre-war levels \u2014 potentially giving the Egyptian government a bit of breathing room, given the LNG\u2019s relatively lower price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Watch this space<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> <a id=\"wwtt1\"><\/a> <\/strong><strong>ENERGY<\/strong><strong> \u2014 Flows from Israel\u2019s Leviathan and Tamar gas fields to <\/strong><strong>Egypt have returned to pre-war levels<\/strong>, with around 1.1 bcf\/d passing through the East Mediterranean Gas pipeline, a government official tells EnterpriseAM. The restart of sizable exports to Egypt and Jordan comes just two days after Israel <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2026\/04\/05\/egypt-begins-work-from-home-experiment-to-cut-energy-use-amid-wartime-pressures\/\" style=\"\">resumed production<\/a> in the Leviathan gas field.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why this matters: <\/strong>With global energy prices rising and LNG shipments in short supply \u2014 as Qatari flows remain blocked by the Strait of Hormuz closure \u2014 imports from Israel at comparatively lower prices give the government a little bit of breathing room, we\u2019re told.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>However, the additional pipeline supplies aren\u2019t enough to eliminate the need for additional LNG<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>The Madbouly government is on track to order 20 LNG cargoes for April to bridge the gap between supply and demand and front-run expected higher prices ahead of summer, when seasonal demand is expected to come in about 7% higher than last year.

Chinese exporters are better positioned than peers in Europe and Southeast Asia to keep production steady \u2014 and pick up a global market share \u2014 as others slow down, the <a

0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The advantage is structural:<\/strong> China is a large oil importer from the Gulf, but its broader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/graphics\/IRAN-CRISIS\/CHINA-OIL\/egpbeormkvq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energy<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/graphics\/IRAN-CRISIS\/CHINA-OIL\/egpbeormkvq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">system<\/a> dilutes that exposure \u2014 domestic coal, a renewables surge, a diversified supplier list, pipelines with neighbors, the EV boom, and strategic reserves are all acting as buffers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>It\u2019s already showing up in output: <\/strong>China\u2019s manufacturing PMI rose to 50.4 in March, returning to expansion after two months of contraction, which indicates that factories are holding up one month into the crisis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>But the real shift is happening in orders: <\/strong>Exporters in eastern China report increasing inquiries from US and European clients who are concerned about supply chain reliability in Southeast Asia. Disruptions linked to the oil shock are hitting countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia harder, pushing some buyers to reconsider their \u201cChina plus one\u201d strategies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Reversal matters more than any short-term output data: <\/strong>For years, manufacturers diversified away from China to reduce geopolitical and tariff risk. Now, energy security and delivery reliability are pulling some of that demand back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Still, this isn\u2019t a clean W: <\/strong>Higher energy costs are feeding into input prices, creating cost-driven inflation in an economy still dealing with weak demand. That means companies are paying more to produce, but can\u2019t easily raise prices \u2014 so financial gains get squeezed, even if they can handle it for now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>That creates a split inside the economy:<\/strong> Upstream sectors like energy benefit from higher prices, while downstream manufacturers \u2014 especially in consumer-facing industries \u2014 see margins tighten.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>It\u2019s also a W for gas markets: <\/strong>Chinese firms are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/tight-global-market-well-positioned-china-resells-record-lng-volumes-2026-04-01\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reselling<\/a> record volumes of LNG into spot markets, taking advantage of high prices while domestic demand remains covered by pipeline gas and local supply.<\/p>\n<p
