    How the Middle East Conflict Is Shaking Energy Markets

    The conflict in the Middle East is rattling global energy markets, but how big could the disruption really be? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Head of Commodities and Sustainable Economics Vivek Dhar about risks to global oil and gas supply as tensions escalate around the Strait of Hormuz. Vivek explains how prolonged conflict could push oil and LNG prices sharply higher, forcing demand destruction across parts of the global economy and adding inflationary pressures. He also outlines implications for energy prices and risk management in Australia, particularly ahead of the winter season. Plus, CommBank's Harry Ottley shares what we can expect to move markets in the week ahead.
