🇨🇳 The cost of shipping Gulf oil to China has EXPLODED

And now, the benchmark behind billions of dollars in trades is being challenged.

The TD3C supertanker rate surged from roughly 290 Worldscale points in early July to a peak near 1,320 in October, more than QUADRUPLING as the Iran war disrupted shipping.

Bloomberg reports broker messages involving South Korea’s Sinokor are under scrutiny over their potential influence on the benchmark. Sinokor owns 83 supertankers, a fleet Bloomberg estimates could have generated around $2.1 billion this October.

The controversy matters because limited Gulf shipping data means Baltic Exchange assessors sometimes have to use judgment, while futures and commercial contracts settle against that same benchmark.

Mercuria has already sued the Baltic Exchange, arguing TD3C no longer reflects the underlying market.

Shahin Mustafayev: Declining Caspian Sea levels require close cooperation among the five states


Overcoming the challenges posed by the declining level of the Caspian Sea requires close cooperation among the five littoral states, President of the International Turkic Academy Shahin Mustafayev said at a special joint session held within the 3rd High-Level Meeting of International Organizations and the 6th Ministerial Meeting under the Baku Process, Report informs.

He noted that the drop in the Caspian Sea’s water level causes concern due to its negative impact on the environment, biodiversity, economic activities, and the living conditions of local communities.

“To overcome this challenge, the main condition is close cooperation among the five Caspian states – Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan. Environmental challenges require the exchange of scientific knowledge, policy coordination, and a sense of shared responsibility for our common natural heritage,” Mustafayev said.

He emphasized that the Caspian Sea has for centuries united peoples, cultures, and civilizations.

“We can strengthen mutual understanding while promoting practical responses to environmental challenges. The Caspian Sea must serve as a unifying factor for the Caspian states, both in terms of geography and history, as well as in matters of responsibility for its future,” the academy president concluded.

🚨🇧🇷 Brazil’s Federal Police are reportedly searching the country’s border crossings, trying to determine if Flávio Bolsonaro has fled the country… There’s NOTHING indicating he has, but Lula’s government is apparently quite worried about it. A day after the election, Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passport to the Federal Police within 24 hrs. His allies are denying he fled, and I’m NOT buying it either… But Argentine news site Infobae reported earlier that he had crossed the border, using a nat’l identity document. For now, it’s nothing but a rumor, but should also give you insight into just how deranged Lula is… The man some want to praise is nothing


🚨🇧🇷 Brazil’s Federal Police are reportedly searching the country’s border crossings, trying to determine if Flávio Bolsonaro has fled the country…

There’s NOTHING indicating he has, but Lula’s government is apparently quite worried about it.

A day after the election, Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passport to the Federal Police within 24 hrs.

His allies are denying he fled, and I’m NOT buying it either…

But Argentine news site Infobae reported earlier that he had crossed the border, using a nat’l identity document.

For now, it’s nothing but a rumor, but should also give you insight into just how deranged Lula is…

The man some want to praise is nothing more than an authoritarian POS, going after his political opponents.

According to a release from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the claim by the IRGC-N that U.S. vessels have retreated from the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz is false, and U.S. forces continue to operate in the locality and the blockade of vessels traveling to and from Oran remains in effect. Per the last CENTCOM update on the blockade, which has now passed 100 days of operations, 138 vessels have been redirected since the renewed blockade began.

Russian military logistics have come under Ukrainian attack, with special forces targeting enemy transport and supply infrastructure in an effort to disrupt Russian military movements. The operation was carried out by the XIII Legion unit of the Omega Special Purpose Center of Ukraine’s National Guard, which has been conducting strikes against Russian targets. Video footage shared on social media shows a series of precision strikes against Russian military targets, followed by powerful explosions as the attacks hit their intended locations. The footage captures the impact of the strikes, highlighting the unit’s efforts to destroy enemy assets and disrupt logistical operations. Russian military logistics are facing mounting pressure from Ukraine’s systematic use of medium-range strikes. The attacks are destroying vehicles and reducing the number of safe routes available to Russian troops, making it increasingly difficult for occupying forces to move personnel and supplies.
