SUMMARY
  • Crude oil soared on conflict and sank just as fast on ceasefire. Prices surged to a 5-month high following the U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
  • June’s price action was driven by geopolitical shocks, not sustained fundamentals. Oversupply concerns remain dominant.
  • On 05/Jul, eight key members of OPEC+ alliance agreed to raise oil output in August. Instead of the anticipated 411kbpd increase, the group opted for a steeper hike of 548kbpd.
