AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoRed Sea Escalation: Yemen’s Houthis say they struck two Saudi oil tankers, Encelia and Layla, with ballistic and cruise missiles plus drones after declaring a “naval blockade” on Saudi-linked shipping; a UK maritime monitor (UKMTO) reported a tanker was hit about 70 nautical miles southwest of Al Shuqaiq and was on fire, with no casualties or environmental impact reported. Shipping Shock: The attack follows earlier Houthi warnings that vessels using Saudi ports could be targeted, adding fresh risk to Bab al-Mandeb as tankers reportedly reroute or turn back, tightening global oil logistics. US-Iran War Spillover: The Red Sea flare-up comes as the US carries out its 12th straight night of strikes on Iran, while Trump threatens to destroy Iranian bridges or power plants for each Hormuz ship attack, with Iran warning “eye for an eye.” Markets & Inflation: Oil jumped to six-week highs, lifting inflation fears and weighing on regional stocks; gold held gains as traders watch the Fed.
