MUFG Warns of Oil Supply Risks as US-Iran Tensions Escalate

Lloyd Chan, an analyst at MUFG, highlighted rising US-Iran tensions as a key risk to oil supply. The threats extend to energy infrastructure and critical shipping chokepoints in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, which are vital for global crude flows.

Chan's comments come amid heightened geopolitical friction in the Middle East, raising the possibility of supply disruptions. Market participants are monitoring for any escalation that could tighten crude availability and push prices higher.
