  • How does conflict affect oil prices?
  • So it's not surprising that conflict overseas often influences energy markets. Yet it's challenging to predict how a particular conflict, like the Israel-Hamas war, could affect fuel prices. But here are five facts that help explain the links between geopolitical strife, the oil markets, and the prices you pay at the pump.
  • How does geopolitical strife affect oil prices?
  • But here are five facts that help explain the links between geopolitical strife, the oil markets, and the prices you pay at the pump. As supply dips below demand, prices rise. During the 1973 Yom Kippur war between Israel and the Arab states, Arab oil-producing countries established an embargo, cutting off their oil from world markets.
  • Why are oil prices rising?
  • Oil prices have since risen sharply to nearly $100 per barrel following strong economic recovery post-lockdowns. As the economy grows so does the demand for oil. Moreover, rising geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East are stoking supply fears.
  • Which country imports the most oil in the world?
  • In the 1970s, America was the biggest importer of oil. Today, the U.S. is the world's #1 oil producer. Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil and Gas Association, says America's steady supply of crude stabilizes world markets. Staples says that "in 2019, a Saudi Arabian oil refinery complex was attacked by missiles that originated from Yemen."
  • Will oil prices rise in 2024?
  • Oil prices will continue to be driven by demand-supply dynamics in 2024 as well. As the current fundamentals remain unsupportive, there are very few chances for a sharp rise in prices barring a major escalation of tensions in the Middle East, which could negatively affect the global oil supply chain.
  • Why did oil prices rise during the Yom Kippur War?
  • As supply dips below demand, prices rise. During the 1973 Yom Kippur war between Israel and the Arab states, Arab oil-producing countries established an embargo, cutting off their oil from world markets. "Oil supplies were restricted almost overnight," says Jeff Barron of the Energy Information Administration.
