Jorge Leon, head of geopolitical analysis at Rystad Energy, says oil prices
could surge to about USD150/bbl if the US and Iran return to full-scale
hostilities. He warned it is too early to determine whether recent escalation
marks a full resumption of hostilities or a dangerous but containable incident,
and said oil price volatility is likely to remain elevated until clearer
evidence emerges, regardless of whether a ceasefire holds or diplomacy regains
traction.
