Geopolitical Factors

The escalating conflict in the Middle East has triggered supply concerns, benefiting companies like ONGC. UBS noted that “the risk to oil prices remains skewed to the upside,” while Equirus Securities commented on the historical volatility of oil markets in response to geopolitical conflicts.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the long-term impact of these geopolitical tensions on oil prices and the future profit outlook for oil marketing companies if pump prices remain unchanged.
