WS #15110
A co-pilot on a FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv attempted to hijack the aircraft, an incident Israel has classified as a terrorist attack. This event shatters the recent ceasefire optimism and triggers immediate market repricing in energy and transport. The OIES has raised Brent price forecasts and warned of a 5 mb/d supply drop in 2026, while the EU has already incurred €100 billion in energy costs from the ongoing conflict. This creates a classic supply-shock environment: energy stocks (XOM, CVX) are poised to benefit from higher prices, while airlines (DAL, UAL) and shipping face margin compression and operational disruption.
