Geopolitical Crisis in the Middle East Threatens Oil Markets

The ongoing crisis between Israel and Gaza poses a significant risk to the oil markets. With about one-third of global oil exports coming from the region, any disruptions to supply could lead to high and volatile oil prices. Furthermore, the Strait of Hormuz, responsible for one-third of global oil transit, could be impacted, leading to a major disruption in global oil and natural gas markets. The outcome of the crisis remains uncertain, but the potential risks to energy markets are significant.
