Over 10% of global oil production has been removed by current Middle East disruptions, materially tightening supply-demand margins and risking extreme price spikes. The S&P 500 energy weighting is under 3%, signaling the market may be underestimating energy's importance to economic output. Expect upside pressure on energy prices and inflation with downside risk to growth, implying a more defensive/risk-off positioning may be warranted.
