According to Sina Finance, traders, anxious buyers, and pressured executives are gathering in Singapore for Asia-Pacific's most important industry event. Brent crude faces the risk of moving back above $100 a barrel more than six months after the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran conflict, while recent attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz threaten the recovery in crude transport. Diesel supply is also under extreme strain in the refined-fuels market. According to Sina Finance, the issues will be a key focus at the S&P Global Energy Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference, or APPEC, which opens on Tuesday and runs through the week. The article said the discussion will center on insufficient inventory buffers, a "no-solution" diesel market, transport issues in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine conflicts. Energy Aspects Ltd. founder and director Amrita Sen said the discussion will undoubtedly revolve around those topics. She is also among the senior energy analysts attending APPEC this year. Singapore is a natural venue for the event because it is a major Asian crude trading center and a hub for refining, financing, and logistics. This year's keynote speakers include Russell Hardy, chief executive of Vitol, as well as representatives from Middle Eastern oil-producing countries and financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs Group.
