Oil prices are currently around $100 a barrel as stable Middle Eastern exports ease supply concerns. However, ongoing regional conflicts, including Houthi attacks, raise risks of disruptions. Officials indicate that rebuilding global oil stockpiles could take years due to significant withdrawals. Industry executives predict that demand recovery may not occur until 2028 or 2029. Prices may stabilize at around $70 a barrel depending on future production levels.

Rising oil prices, now exceeding 1%, raise alarms over potential storm disruptions affecting U.S. oil production and refineries. With Brent crude passing $101 per barrel and WTI crude hitting $90.38, concerns are amplified by supply issues from Saudi Arabia and mixed signals on U.S. inventories. Coupled with ongoing tensions between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis, analysts predict sustained high prices unless significant diplomatic progress is made.

Rafinerie britské společnosti Shell mohou ve třetím čtvrtletí téměř zdvojnásobit rafinérskou marži. Upozornil na to deník The Guardian s tím, že energetický gigant očekává marži kolem 42 dolarů, tedy asi 920 korun za každý zpracovaný barel ropy. Ještě ve druhém čtvrtletí činila 24 dolarů. Rekordně vydělávají i další hráči v oboru. Hlavním důvodem je globální nedostatek paliv v důsledku konfliktu USA s Íránem, který vyhnal ceny benzinu a zejména nafty na rekordní úrovně.
