12:35 AM EDT, 10/16/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Eni (ENI.MI) warned of a potential shutdown of its refinery in Taranto, Italy, as the protest of workers at the Ilva steelworks plant continues, Reuters reported Thursday, citing the company. The Italian energy group said the strike, which started on Monday, is blocking access to its refinery. Currently, the refinery is still operating normally, but Eni said prolonged logistical challenges could prompt a reorganization of activities. Eni did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
