What happened
Global oil prices remain supported above $100 per barrel due to uncertainty in the Middle East and concerns over oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on energy infrastructure have drained global oil inventories by over 500 million barrels since February. The International Energy Agency projects a third-quarter global deficit of 1.8 million barrels per day.
Why it matters
Geopolitical tensions are creating a significant risk premium in the oil market. Supply disruptions, including Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz, have led to record high prices for diesel and gasoline in major markets. The market requires an agreement between the United States and Iran to remove this risk premium and ensure stronger oil flows.
Geopolitical tensions are affecting oil prices in the region, involving Nigeria and the Middle East. The situation also involves US-Iran peace talks, oil price sensitivity, and El Niño effects on monsoons.
