AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoOil Market Watch: Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi warns that if the US-Iran conflict drags on, crude could break out of the $80–$100 range and hit about $100 by early 2027, with shrinking inventories and reliance on strategic stockpiles raising the odds of sharper price spikes and renewed inflation. Energy Security: Descalzi also flags the need for Europe to secure around 35 bcm of gas to refill storage ahead of winter, as supply anxieties grow. Grid Flexibility: A new look at Europe’s smart-meter push argues it’s becoming essential to balance rising wind and solar with demand, especially as battery storage still lags behind targets. Renewables & Research: Off Sicily, drones and laser sensors are being tested to monitor volcanic gases for eruption forecasting, while an offshore wind seabed survey near Calabria turned up a 2,400-year-old shipwreck carrying 300 amphorae. Climate Pressure: Economists warn a “super” El Niño could keep food-price shocks going into 2028, adding another layer of stress to already tight global supply chains.
