Why now
  • A recent ceasefire between the US and Iran has shifted market dynamics, prompting reassessment of supply risks.
  • Renewed Iranian strikes threaten the fragile ceasefire and the security of key oil transit routes.
  • Market participants are balancing optimism about supply recovery against ongoing geopolitical risks in the Persian Gulf.
Why it matters
  • The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil supply, so instability there impacts energy markets worldwide.
  • Market expectations about supply surges influence crude prices and trading strategies globally.
  • Geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran directly affect oil market volatility and energy security.
