🚨 HORMUZ CRISIS BOOSTS OIL BUSINESS — BUT HITS PETROCHEMICALS
The Strait of Hormuz crisis is creating a mixed impact across the energy sector.
🔑 Key Points:
• Higher global oil prices are benefiting ONGC’s oil exploration business
• Petrochemical operations are being squeezed by surging feedstock costs
• Gas and naphtha prices have jumped sharply
• ONGC said naphtha prices rose from around $600 to $1,000
• OPaL’s FY2027 Q1 EBITDA turned negative as feedstock costs surged
📊 Market Insight:
The Hormuz disruption is creating a major split in the energy market — higher crude prices can support upstream oil producers while simultaneously increasing costs for petrochemical and downstream businesses.
