Hey Freight Up fans, it's Fernanda here!🎙️In this week's episode titled "Hurricane Idalia is making waves" I had the opportunity to discuss the latest updates in the freight and commodities industry, particularly in the oil sector.

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

1️⃣ Crude Oil Market in Limbo:
The crude oil market is currently caught between supply side worries from the Saudi cuts and poor global demand. While there has been a slight uptick in prices due to the weaker dollar, the overall sentiment remains uncertain. It's worth keeping a close eye on the market as even slight fluctuations can have significant impacts.

2️⃣ Hurricane Idalia Impact:
Hurricane Idalia, though downgraded to a category three, has raised concerns about oil production in the Gulf areas. While not a major threat, the news of the hurricane has influenced prices and created worries about potential production disruptions. Monitoring the situation is essential to stay informed about any significant developments.

3️⃣ High Sulphur East West Contract:
The high sulphur East West contract has been experiencing fluctuations, with the Singapore grade trading at a discount compared to the European grade. Factors such as regional supply from the Middle East and reduced demand due to cooler temperatures in South Asia during monsoon season have affected prices. Traders need to closely monitor this market as it is known for its volatility.

I'm so grateful to be a part of the "Freight Up" podcast each week and I look forward to sharing more insights about the fuel industry in future episodes.
