From 2 to 9 October, December Brent rose 2.4% to $104.72/bbl and November WTI rose 0.8% to $91.85/bbl. Henry Hub gained 6.1% to $3.220/MMBtu; the TTF and JKM futures proxies gained 8.9% to €81.434/MWh and 1.1% to $25.980/MMBtu. Operator reports verify precautionary Gulf shut-ins. IEA acceleration and a new U.S. diesel authorization establish policy channels, while destination deliveries remain unverified.

The G7 announced a coordinated 100-million-barrel stock release on 2 October. Friday settlements were $102.25/bbl for December Brent and $91.11/bbl for November WTI. WTI fell 1.4% against the archived 25 September close. Henry Hub closed at $3.035/MMBtu, TTF at €74.760/MWh, and the JKM futures proxy at $25.705/MMBtu. Brent, Henry Hub, and TTF crossed rolls; their reference changes are not comparable weekly returns.

From 18 to 25 September, November Brent rose 0.4% while like-for-like November WTI fell 3.8%; the continuous front-month WTI comparison is not used because October expired during the week. Henry Hub rose 9.8%, while the disclosed TTF and zero-volume JKM futures proxies fell 9.4% and 6.2%. Saudi Arabia restarted its East–West pipeline at a reduced rate and Gulf loadings increased, but full capacity and normal Hormuz transit were not verified.

Brent slipped 0.7% and WTI edged 0.2% higher from 11 to 18 September after an intraweek pipeline shock. Reports of a prospective partial restart and Saudi ship-to-ship transfers compressed oil's peak, while reported cargo cancellations indicated real disruption. Henry Hub gained 2.9%, TTF was effectively unchanged, and the zero-volume JKM futures proxy rose 10.5% as curtailed Qatari supply and LNG competition persisted.

Brent, WTI, Dutch TTF, and the JKM futures proxy rose from 4 to 11 September, while Henry Hub fell. Reported damage temporarily shut Saudi Arabia's East–West pipeline, Houthi forces reached Perim at the Bab el-Mandeb entrance, and Hormuz traffic remained impaired. Oil retreated Friday after a report of possible temporary talks, showing that both physical disruption and changing expectations shaped the close.

Brent, WTI, Henry Hub, TTF, and the JKM futures proxy rose from 28 August to 4 September. Renewed U.S.–Iran attacks and impaired Hormuz traffic drove a sharp risk repricing, while the latest EIA balances showed a U.S. crude draw and a below-average gas-storage injection. Reuters reported no evidence yet that the new escalation materially reduced Middle East exports.

Brent and WTI fell from 21 to 28 August as Gulf exports recovered and markets assigned more weight to Hormuz mediation than to new sanctions. Henry Hub, TTF, and JKM still rose, reflecting late-summer heat, low European storage, and persistent LNG shipping exposure.

All five benchmarks rose from 14 to 21 August as constrained Hormuz traffic, threatened sanctions, and tight European winter cover outweighed another U.S. crude build and abundant U.S. gas stocks.

Oil and European gas rose as Hormuz negotiations stalled and vessel attacks continued. A large U.S. crude build and comfortable U.S. gas inventories capped the rally.

All five benchmarks fell as markets priced a possible Hormuz reopening. Vessel attacks, low European storage, and tight petroleum products prevented a larger decline.

Oil and gas benchmarks declined from elevated levels while damaged infrastructure, shipping constraints, and regional inventory differences kept uncertainty high.
