On May 9, it was reported that the Iran war is disrupting oil transportation in the Persian Gulf, leading to a record-speed depletion of global oil inventories, which are meant to cushion against supply shocks. The rapid shrinkage of these stocks indicates that the risk of extreme price spikes and supply shortages is increasing. With the Strait of Hormuz nearing closure for two months, governments and industries have fewer options to cope with the impact of over 1 billion barrels of supply loss. The sharp depletion of inventories also means that even after the conflict ends, the market will remain vulnerable to future supply disruptions for a longer period. Morgan Stanley estimates that from March 1 to April 25, global oil inventories decreased by an average of about 4.8 million barrels per day, far exceeding the previous peak of quarterly inventory reductions compiled by the International Energy Agency. Nearly 60% of the decrease was in crude oil, with the remainder in refined products. The key point is that the oil system also needs to establish a minimum inventory level. Natasha Kaneva, head of global commodities research at JPMorgan, stated that this means that before inventories truly hit rock bottom, the portion of safety stock that cannot be moved has already been reached.

On May 9, the chairman of the Iranian Parliament's Energy Committee stated that oil production continues across multiple oil fields in Iran. He described actions against Iranian tankers as "completely illegal," but noted that the pressure on Iranian oil exports has not shown significant effects. He also mentioned that no official reports have been received regarding an oil spill in the waters surrounding Khark Island. Previously, media reports citing satellite images indicated a suspected large-scale crude oil leak near Khark Island, a key hub for Iranian oil exports, with pollution covering several dozen square kilometers of sea surface, raising concerns about energy supply and maritime safety in the Middle East. In the past 24 hours, Trump threatened that if there is "no progress" in the current situation, the U.S. may restart the "Freedom Plan," which would be an "upgraded version." He also stated that a formal response from Iran regarding the U.S. proposal is expected. However, upon returning to the White House, Trump did not respond to questions about whether he had received a reply from Iran.

According to Vccircle, Sequoia Capital has lowered management fees in its two recently-launched venture funds as it braces for a slower investment environment, partner Alfred Lin said on Thursday.
The changes in fee structure, communicated to investors in December, allow limited partners (LPs) who committed capital to Sequoia's crypto and ecosystem funds launched early last year to pay management fees based on capital deployed, rather than the common model of capital under management that applies to other Sequoia funds.
Sequoia launched a $950 million ecosystem fund to back scouts and funds formed by Sequoia alums, and a $600 million crypto fund to invest in crypto companies and tokens. So far, 10% of the crypto fund has been deployed, Lin said.
