Seven months after the Hormuz escalation reshaped Gulf export flows, where does the market really stand, and how much of the shift is here to stay?
Recorded live at Vortexa's Innovation Series evening in Dubai, the first episode of Liquid Currents: MENA Edition brings together three of the region's leading voices on oil markets:
• Kristine Petrosyan, Head of Research & Analytics, OQ Trading
• Aditya Saraswat, Partner and Head of MENA & Caspian Research, Rystad Energy
• Dalila Laskar, Head of Oil Research, Oil Brokerage
The panel unpacks how Gulf producers are adapting, what China, Japan and Korea mean for demand, why products may prove harder to fix than crude, what rerouting is doing to freight and delivered costs, and where oil prices go from here.
Liquid Currents: MENA Edition is Vortexa's podcast for traders, analysts and commercial leaders who need to understand the Gulf, not just follow it.
