Oil supplies under siege as tanker attacks spread from Red Sea to Black Sea
TL;DR Summary
Oil markets are under multi-front pressure as Iran- and Houthi-led attacks threaten shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, while Ukraine targets Russia-linked vessels in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov. Brent crude has surged above $100 per barrel as chokepoints threaten flows, with Kazakhstan’s Caspian Pipeline Consortium halting at Novorossiysk and creating added risk of supply outages; while pipeline rerouting is technically possible, it’s logistically complex and slow, potentially widening the gap between supply and demand.
