Analysts are concerned that the war between Hamas and Israel could disrupt the oil supply in the region, especially from Iran, a major crude oil producer (Reuters). Cuts in production from Iran could lead to rises in the price of Brent crude, with Goldman Sachs estimating that any 100,000 barrel a day decline in Iran’s production would raise the Brent oil price by over $1 a barrel (WSJ).
