Rabobank’s Senior Market Strategist Benjamin Picton highlights that persistent Middle East tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz are keeping oil markets on edge.

The narrow waterway is a critical transit point for a significant portion of global crude, and any disruption could quickly tighten supply.

As a result, the strategist suggests that this recurring geopolitical risk continues to underpin crude prices, adding a premium that is likely to remain as long as the situation remains unresolved.
