Ukraine has officially announced the resumption of drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, ending a period of restraint that was tied to a US-brokered ceasefire. Concurrently, reports confirm the US military has prepared MOAB strike plans against Iranian nuclear and energy facilities. These dual threats to major energy producers create a significant supply risk, particularly given that Saudi Arabia holds minimal spare OPEC capacity. The market implication is a sharp bullish bias for crude oil prices and energy equities, offset by bearish pressure on airlines and shipping due to rising fuel costs.
