## Prediction

Over 30 days, if limited Iran–U.S. conflict and Red Sea–Hormuz threats persist, global oil markets are likely to embed a structural risk premium of roughly $10–15/bbl above pre-crisis baseline levels. Even without a physical disruption, repeated missile exchanges, tanker incidents, and low U.S. SPR capacity will convince markets that tail risks of a major outage remain elevated. This will feed inflationary pressures, complicate monetary-policy easing in major economies, and shift investment incentives toward non-OPEC supply and renewables. Confirmation would be sustained high prices despite modest demand or inventory softness; a durable de-escalation agreement and clear SPR-replenishment path would compress the premium.

## Drivers

- Current Brent break above $100 on Iran–US clash and low SPR
- Documented tanker warfare and ballistic missile duels
- UN-confirmed regional proxy attacks on Saudi energy assets
- Limited short-term flexibility in non-OPEC supply growth
