    Markets price in faster normalization of Middle East oil supply as Gulf output expectations shift

    Question

    Markets price in faster normalization of Middle East oil supply as Gulf output expectations shift

    Direct answer

    Repricing of supply risk has capped upside in Brent crude (BRN00) relative to earlier in the conflict and supported selected Gulf oil-linked equities such as Saudi Aramco (2222.SR), while weighing on longer-dated crude futures spreads (CLZ26-CLZ25) as backwardation eases.
