What it means
The world has absorbed a historic loss of Iranian oil supply, but depleted strategic reserves mean there is little cushion against further disruptions — a setup historically associated with sustained elevated oil prices rather than a sharp new spike. States rebuilding energy reserves add incremental demand support, while the uncertainty tends to keep safe-haven assets like gold bid. Airlines remain exposed to elevated and volatile jet fuel costs in this environment.
