Geopolitical tensions have escalated from rhetoric to kinetic action, with USCENTCOM bombing a cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman and a deadly attack occurring at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport.

The market is now pricing in a sustained supply shock, benefiting upstream energy producers while severely pressuring airlines and shipping logistics.
