Gasoline weekly special report based On 1.00 Lot Calculation:

 

MIDDLE EAST

• ISREAL EXPECTED TO RETALIATE AGAINST IRANIAN STRIKE: According to the most recent reports, Israel is expected to strike back at Iran in response to Iran’s attack on the nation. Israel’s retaliation is widely expected to escalate the current tensions in the Middle East, which could catalyze a wider regional war. There are serious risks of supply disruptions if this materializes, given the fundamental role of the Middle Eastern region as a global oil hub. Disruptions could likely push gasoline prices higher.

 

SCENARIOS: POTENTIAL OIL PRICE REACTIONS IN CASE OF MIDDLE-EAST ESCALATION

• In a “small disruption” scenario where global oil supply could be reduced by up to 2 million barrels per day, oil prices could initially increase to a range of $93 to $102 a barrel. However, the price could decline.
• The “medium disruption” scenario—roughly equivalent to the Iraq war in 2003—would take up to 5 million bpd off global oil supply and could see oil prices between $109 and $121 a barrel. However, the price could decline.
• In a “large disruption” scenario—comparable to the Arab oil embargo in 1973—global oil supply would shrink by up to 8 million bpd and this could push prices surging between $140 and $157 a barrel. However, the price could decline.
