JPMorgan is abandoning its Iran war oil forecast as economic redlines keep getting crossed

JPMorgan has dropped its oil price forecasts because the ongoing war between the US and Iran has made market modeling impossible. The bank states it simply does not know how to model the endgame as economic redlines continue to be crossed. This move reflects a broader struggle within energy markets to predict price movements during the conflict. While some analysts suggest oil markets are in a shrug emoji era of indifference, others argue the disruption extends beyond immediate energy prices.
