Oil markets experience heightened volatility amid Israel-Hamas conflict
About this episode
Geopolitical tensions are, once again, spooking oil markets, with the Israel-Hamas war dominating all discussions. Even with the impact of the armed conflict so far restricted to the Mediterranean, market players are increasingly concerned about the potential for escalation, which is being reflected in rising insurance premiums.
In this episode of the Platts Oil Markets podcast, Andy Critchlow, the London-based head of the S&P Global Commodity Insights news team, and oil and freight reporters Nadia Bliznikova and Lei Zhong join Joel Hanley to discuss the impact of a conflict that evokes memories of major oil crises in the past.
