Description

Despite heightened geopolitical tensions across key producers, oil market fundamentals remain largely unchanged, with a 2 mbpd surplus weighing on prices while cushioning the market against shocks. Our baseline assumes no supply disruption from Iran—with only a modest near-term risk premium likely—while more material price moves are confined to low-probability escalation scenarios.
