Head of Investments Matt Sallee and Junior Analyst John Price discuss how rising geopolitical tensions are impacting energy markets.
- How are infrastructure attacks impacting markets: Terminals, refineries, and LNG facilities are being hit, increasing volatility
- Why are global prices diverging: International crude and products are surging while U.S. prices remain more stable
- How could LNG disruption affect supply: Major facility damage could take years to repair, tightening markets
- Why might the U.S. benefit: Strong domestic supply and exports are helping insulate U.S. markets
- How effective are Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) releases: Large releases help, but flow limits reduce near-term impact
- When could markets normalize: Recovery depends on ceasefire timing, repairs, and clearing supply backlogs

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is a light, sweet crude oil primarily sourced from Texas, known for its high quality and ease of refining. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state for shipping and storage – the volume in this state is about 600 times smaller than in its gaseous state, able to transport for much longer distances when pipeline transport is not feasible.
