Oil Market's Glut Narrative Just Blew Up

The oil market's narrative of a looming glut has been blown up by recent events, including the resumption of hostilities between the US and Iran. The conflict has led to a significant increase in oil prices, with Brent crude topping $100 per barrel. The Houthis' strikes on tankers in the Red Sea have blocked two oil chokepoints, making a global recession a very real danger. The situation is highly unpredictable and has led to a sharp increase in oil prices. The market is closely watching the developments and is expecting a significant impact on the global economy.

The oil market's glut narrative has been blown up by a series of events, including Yemen's Houthi strikes on oil tankers in the Red Sea. The strikes have led to a significant increase in oil prices, with Brent crude topping $100 per barrel. The events have also led to a resumption of hostilities in the region, which is likely to have a significant impact on global oil trade. The oil market's glut narrative was based on a recovery in tanker traffic via the Strait of Hormuz, but the recent events have blown this narrative out of the water. The impact of the events on the oil market is likely to be significant, and it remains to be seen how the market will react to the new developments.
