Markets are struggling to price an unprecedented supply shock amid escalating geopolitical risk, with Brent above $115 despite supply disruptions. Omar Najia warned price signals are distorted and risks skewing the global economy. Zoe Upson highlighted shipping strain and seafarer stress. Jamie Ingram said real shortages are emerging, with demand destruction likely driven by policy, costs, and prolonged disruptions.

Oil markets are pricing uncertainty, not resolution. Yuriy Humber (Japan NRG Platform), Arne Lohmann Rasmussen (Global Risk Management), Iman Nasseri (FGE NexantECA), and Bill Spindle (Energy Analyst) assess whether “talks” are real or just delay, as Hormuz control tightens and LNG markets flip from surplus to scarcity. The panel warns of a world without Hormuz, with demand destruction only kicking in at $250–$300 oil, while Asia feels the pain before the West. Listen in for a clear-eyed take on where this crisis heads next.

Today’s podcast said Brent near $100 reflects confusion, not calm: Ramin Lakani stressed contradictory diplomacy and enduring IRGC risk; Kate Dourian warned Gulf disruption, damaged refining and LNG flows will outlast any ceasefire; and Mukesh Sahdev argued crude bypasses work better than product markets, making diesel and jet shortages the real threat.
