Oil's shrug emoji era

JP Morgan has abandoned its oil price forecasts because it cannot model a clear endgame for the conflict involving Iran. The bank states it simply does not know how to project market movements as redlines are crossed and the war drags on. This uncertainty has led to a period of market instability where traditional forecasting models fail to account for the ongoing disruption. Energy markets are currently struggling to determine the long-term impact of the conflict on global supply and pricing.
