Flat price is in a funk, shimmying and sliding but going nowhere. The Iron Dome has been referred to as the Iron Colander following Iran’s strikes against Israel and it seems like air defences aren’t the only leaky thing in Israel. A leaked document appeared to illustrate Israel’s preparations for a retaliatory strike against Iran. The mole or tongue wagging source has not yet been identified, but don’t worry, the US is on the case. The Israeli military will have to go back to the drawing board and rework their plans. Despite this leak suggesting escalation is probable and maybe even imminent, Brent flat price did little at this morning’s open, though it rose steadily from around $73/bbl towards the $74/bbl handle by 10:45 BST. And another day, another ceasefire effort. The US envoy Amos Hochstein will reportedly hold talks with Lebanese officials today, aiming to arrange a ceasefire… again.
