Italian giant Eni said this week it would reduce capex by at least €500 million ($569 million) in 2025 and slashed its Brent price forecast from $75/bbl to $65/bbl due to uncertainty around tariffs. The capex cuts are part of broader "mitigating actions" that Eni said it was taking to offset more than €2 billion of macrodriven negative effects and keep its shareholder distribution pledge — and most of its 2025 business targets — intact. US tariffs and retaliatory action from other countries have raised concerns about disruption to supply chains and economic growth, pushing benchmark Brent down around 8% over the past month. Eni's gross capex for 2025 is now expected to come in under €8.5 billion. Eni CFO Francesco Gattei said the €2 billion of “initial” actions includes rescheduling spending, cost optimization initiatives and "portfolio improvement." Eni also cut its gas price forecast from €44.40/MWh to €41/MWh.
