Oil market underpricing Iran supply shock, Carlyle's Currie says

Jeffrey Currie, Carlyle's Chief Strategy Officer for Energy Pathways, said oil has not fully priced in the supply shock from the US-Israeli war on Iran, implying upside risk to crude prices and greater near-term volatility. For portfolios, this elevates sector-level risk and potential inflationary pressure — monitor oil price moves, inventory and refining spreads, and consider hedges or selective energy exposure to manage supply-driven price shocks.
