Oil Prices Pull Back but Supply Risks Loom, Commerzbank Says

Brent and WTI crude have retreated after recent sharp rallies, yet Commerzbank warns of elevated supply risks from the Persian Gulf and the Bab al-Mandab strait.

Commerzbank analyst Charlie Lay notes that crude oil benchmarks Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) have given back some of their recent steep gains. Despite the pullback, he cautions that underlying threats to supply remain high.

Escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf and the possible closure of the strategic Strait of Bab al-Mandab are flagged as the primary risks that could disrupt crude flows. The strait is a critical chokepoint for global energy shipments.

The bank’s assessment underscores that while prices have eased, the geopolitical backdrop keeps oil markets on edge. No new forecasts or price targets were provided.
