Global oil market dynamics amid geopolitical instability

The effects of the Israel Hamas war have been devastating. Alongside the tragic loss of life we have enormous uncertainty in the region. Geopolitical risks are intensifying and an escalation in the Middle East will, amongst other things, have meaningful implications on the oil market.
