The Hidden Impact of Iran Sanctions on the Energy Market
When it comes to Iran trade sanctions, the market's first reaction is often to crude oil prices. However, the impact goes beyond just oil prices itself, affecting the entire energy pricing system's risk premium. As a major oil producer, Iran's export restrictions make the market more sensitive to "potential supply disruptions."
Even if actual crude oil flows do not show a significant decline, as long as sanctions exist, energy traders will price in uncertainty in advance. This is why oil prices tend to experience emotional spikes during news releases, only to enter consolidation after data verification.
Additionally, natural gas, shipping fuels, and insurance premiums are also indirectly affected. Sanctions do not just raise resource prices but also increase the global energy circulation costs. For investors, the key judgment is not whether "oil prices will skyrocket," but whether volatility systematically increases.
