3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Oct 4

Summary

  • JPMorgan and Goldman said Middle East crude exports are moving back toward pre-war levels, marking a sharp recovery in regional oil flows despite the ongoing conflict.
  • JPMorgan called the region’s export network “flowing again” in a Sept. 29 note, though it said the rebound has been uneven and the war still poses risks to shipping.
  • The recovery suggests physical supply disruptions have eased faster than feared, even as traders and shippers continue to navigate security threats across key Middle East routes.
