Why now
  • Recent drone attacks have left key Saudi refinery at reduced capacity.
  • IEA's downgraded demand outlook reflects ongoing market uncertainty.
  • Potential reopening of Hormuz strait unlikely to immediately restore supply levels.
Why it matters
  • Global oil supply remains fragile due to geopolitical tensions and infrastructure damage.
  • Depleting inventories increase risk of supply shortages and price volatility.
  • Delayed refinery recovery prolongs constraints on fuel availability.
