Macroeconomic & Geopolitical Layer
How energy markets connect to inflation, interest rates, GDP, and geopolitical risk.
Geopolitical Risk Factors
- Middle East tensions — Hormuz Strait transit risk remains elevated
- Russia-Ukraine — EU pipeline gas flows near zero; LNG dependence
- OPEC+ unity — Compliance and quota allocation under pressure
- China demand — Economic recovery pace uncertain
- US shale — Capital discipline holding; rig count stable
Scenario Analysis
- Geopolitical shock — Brent to $95+ if Hormuz disrupted
- Global recession — WTI could test $55 on demand destruction
- Renewable acceleration — Peak oil demand debate intensifies
- OPEC+ unwinding — Output increase could add $5-10 downside
