Summary

  • Oil has steadied around pre-war levels, easing after the earlier conflict-driven spike but not fully removing near-term market tension.
  • Near-term upside risks still dominate the outlook, with analysts warning that renewed supply disruption or geopolitical escalation could quickly push prices higher again.
  • That leaves energy markets in a fragile balance: immediate panic has faded, but price stability remains vulnerable to fresh shocks.
