JPMorgan has announced that it no longer has a baseline view for oil markets following an attack on Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, which has disrupted crude deliveries to Europe and added pressure to already tight diesel markets. The Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for oil transport, is affected by this incident, and the outlook for oil is further complicated by the ongoing conflict with Iran, attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, and uncertainty regarding Chinese demand. In light of these developments, JPMorgan has suggested that there are economic red lines, such as oil prices reaching $100 a barrel, that the U.S. would be unwilling to cross.
