WS #16551
Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries, a significant escalation from the previous static Hormuz disruption narrative. This development directly counters the positive supply signal from QatarEnergy's planned LNG restart, suggesting that global oil supply remains under threat from multiple fronts. The market implication is a sustained bullish bias for energy prices and equities, as the kinetic conflict now actively damages refining capacity rather than just threatening transit routes.
