Libya's two small oilfields have resumed production after a brief shutdown earlier this week. According to Sina Finance, National Oil Corporation Chairman Masoud Suleman said on Wednesday that the valves had been reopened and output had returned to normal levels. He said he did not expect another shutdown. The Petroleum Facilities Guard, which secures Libya's oilfields, pipelines, and terminals, had closed the valve on the Hamada-Zawiya main pipeline on Tuesday, halting production at the Hamada oilfield, the Tahara oilfield, and the NC5 pumping station. The National Oil Corporation had previously warned that it could declare force majeure if the supply disruption continued or spread to other facilities. Data showed that the OPEC member produced about 1.34 million barrels of crude oil per day in August. After other armed units in the guard received pay increases, the unit also demanded higher wages and threatened to cut output at several large oilfields, including Sharara, El Feel, and Wafa, until a full shutdown if its demands were not met. It was not immediately clear what agreement led to the valve reopening, and it could not be confirmed whether the guard's demands were satisfied.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. said on September 17 that BTC is trading at about $76,200, while the average cost basis for short-term holders, defined as those holding for no more than six months, is around $71,300. According to BlockBeats On-chain Detection, BTC is currently priced only about 7% above that cost basis. Over the past week, the gap between BTC’s price and short-term holder cost basis has continued to narrow, and the profit buffer for short-term holders has fallen from 10% to 7%. Adler said the average value of the short-term holder exchange profit and loss metric dropped about 96% between September 10 and September 17, nearing zero, which suggests that the balance between profitable and loss-making selling by short-term holders after transferring BTC to exchanges is moving toward equilibrium. Adler added that if BTC falls below the $71,300 average short-term holder cost basis and the exchange inflow profit and loss metric turns negative, it could indicate that short-term holders are broadly underwater and facing greater selling pressure.

According to Sina Finance, the Japan Non-Life Insurance Association said Japanese property insurers are expected to pay policyholders about 35.4 billion yen for flood damage in Chiba Prefecture near Tokyo in August.

European natural gas prices fell as markets reacted positively to Saudi Arabia's plan to repair a damaged oil pipeline. According to Sina Finance, the plan is expected to restore about half of the East-West pipeline's capacity within days and bring full operations back within six weeks. The benchmark gas futures contract fell as much as 2.5% on Thursday, driven by oil-linked contracts. Traders are also rushing to refill Europe's already low storage facilities ahead of the heating season, even though gas prices are still about 10% higher than at the start of the month. The article said the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has cut off about one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas supply, with no sign that those supplies will recover soon. It also noted that mild weather across continental Europe is providing some support to prices, while meteorological agencies and traders increasingly expect temperatures in the U.K. and northwestern Europe this autumn and winter to be above average. Anna Maria Jaller-Makarewicz, Europe chief energy analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, wrote in a report that wind power output and temperatures will determine how tight Europe's natural gas supply is this winter and how much room prices have to rise. Europe's gas storage facilities were slightly above 68% full, well below the seasonal average, and implied volatility in near-term futures, measured from the price of the underlying options, recently surged to nearly 100%.
