Hormuz Oil Flows Recover as Supply Fears Ease | Horizons Middle East & Africa 8/28/2026
Oil markets focus on the recovery of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz as flows begin to improve and concerns over supply disruptions ease. Goldman Sachs estimates Gulf oil exports remain below pre-war levels, while total flows recover toward 15 to 16 million barrels a day. The US says sea mines have been cleared from Hormuz.
Qatar and Iran discuss the possibility of restarting talks with the US, while Trump rejects returning to the June Iran deal. Rising Hormuz flows are helping reduce fears of a prolonged oil supply squeeze.
Venezuela considers leaving OPEC after nearly six decades of membership as the US weighs opportunities in the country’s oil sector. An exit could have wider implications for OPEC and the global politics of oil.

Fed officials remain divided over the path for interest rates, with Goolsbee calling for evidence that inflation is persistent and Schmid saying higher rates could be appropriate. Investors also assess whether the US midterm elections could influence Fed policy.
Gold has gained sharply this month as investors reassess the rate outlook, while demand for additional gold stockpiles grows in Singapore and Hong Kong. Japan’s two-year bond auction sees its weakest demand measure since 2016, adding to concerns in Asian fixed-income markets.

Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from Brussels, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we’ll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins.
On today’s show, AI jitters returned after the Korean data center firm Elice flopped on its stock market debut. Shares fell as much as 35% after its IPO, which raised $151 million.
Bloomberg has learnt that the AI cloud computing firm Nscale is in talks to sell computing power to Anthropic, in a deal that could be worth about $45 billion.
The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned against complacency over the dangers posed by Russia, saying that President Putin is seeking to undermine democracy in Europe.
And tougher security measures, including an 11pm curfew in some parts of Paris and other cities, appear to have quelled violent protests in France for now. But unions have called for a strike next month, with more demonstrations planned for this Saturday.
Today’s guest: Ana Boata, Allianz Trade, Head of Economic Research

00:00:00 – Daybreak Europe
00:01:39 – Elice’s 33% Debut Plunge Rekindles Doubts Over AI Spending Boom
