Canada sulfur exports hit records after Hormuz disruption, Anas Alhajji notes
Canada sulfur exports surge on Hormuz crisis

Anas Alhajji, managing partner, energy economist, market analyst at Energy Outlook Advisors LLC, highlights that nearly half of global seaborne sulfur trade is being disrupted by the Hormuz crisis.

With this disruption, Canada is emerging as a major beneficiary, as sulfur—produced as a byproduct from oil sands in Alberta—is now playing a key role in global supply. Vancouver's sulfur exports are reaching record levels, prices have more than doubled, and buyers from Morocco to Asia are accelerating their purchases.

Alhajji has previously tracked major supply disruptions in global energy markets. He noted that global diesel shortages and low inventories pushed U.S. diesel prices to all-time highs. In another report, he detailed how the Federal Reserve capped the long bond at 2.5 percent from 1942 to 1951 to assist Treasury financing during wartime.
