Geopolitical Shocks and Market Sensitivity
Energy markets remain reactive to global events. Conflict escalation, sanctions, trade restrictions, shipping disruption and political volatility can trigger price movement, even without physical supply outages.
Recent volatility has been driven by:
- Middle East tensions
- Russia-Ukraine infrastructure strikes
- Red Sea shipping disruption
- US tariff announcements
While recent volatility has eased, the economic impact from tariffs may create slower global demand and wider cost pressures in 2026.
