Risk Premium Remains Clinging to Oil, Market Awaits Hormuz Normalization
Brent traded around $82.55/barrel during the Asian session (March 5), maintaining a high level as the market continues to price in geopolitical risk premiums. The primary focus remains on potential supply disruptions and shipping from the Middle East—particularly the Strait of Hormuz—making this week's oil price movements more headline-driven than typical seasonal factors.
Looking ahead, Brent's bias remains bullish but highly volatile: prices tend to rise quickly on news of escalation or supply constraints, while declines typically require a stronger catalyst in the form of evidence of normal ship flows and concrete signs of de-escalation. Rising US stockpile data could stall the rally, but as long as supply chain issues remain unsolved, upside risk pressures remain dominant. (asd)
