RE: Operational Update-Farm Out RNS - Now to 28th May AGM7 May 2026 07:29
LOL - yesterdays drops across oil stocks, including the big Main Market listed ones, unsurprising given the rhetoric around the US -Iran negotiations and corresponding oil price move. Neither is the obvious, 'trading agenda posting', which i think is a hugely risky proposition, given the nature of the news due pretty much any day - as the CEO Buck mentioned, the major catalyst for a very significant SP re-rate.
To the Headlines:
- Oil price currently circa $98bbl but still very significantly above pre-conflict levels & the $70bbl that returns Petro Matad its $40Net Payback. Even with resolution, prices are expected to stay significantly elevated above pre-conflict levels, due to infrastructure damage, emergency reserves needing rebuilding etc
- Herre's the reason why i believe the current talk of a deal is basically an attempt to extend the Economic damage the Iranian Regime will sustain, the 30 day 'resolution period' quite convenient. It's to do with the 'RED LINES' Trump has continually stated, which the Regime have consistently denied.
`The potential deal: The one-page memo would declare an end to the war and trigger a 30-day period for resolving sticking points including nuclear issues, unfreezing of Iranian assets and security in the Strait of Hormuz, one source told CNN. Trump told PBS News any potential deal would include Tehran SHIPPING IT'S HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM TO THE US and pledging not to operate its underground facilities.
