Oil analyst: Israel-Iran escalations not out of equation yet

Oil prices (BZ=F, CL=F) have been moving back and forth since Iran's attack on Israel last weekend, with Israel ultimately retaliating Thursday night and raising more concerns of further escalation. With tensions rising in the Middle East and the potential for conflict to spread, concerns over the impacts on global oil production have also been raised. Prosper Trading Academy CEO Scott Bauer joins The Morning Brief to discuss oil prices, the state of shipping in the Middle East, and impacts on consumers and investors alike. Bauer outlines what risks are at stake and what to keep in mind during these tense times: "The real risk of this is that the Strait of Hormuz closes down or consolidates at a point where we can't get crude through there because 20% of the world's supply passes through there, so that is the big risk. It's not a risk of Iran is not going to supply anything or oil is not going to still be pumped — it's the delivery. So that's number one. Number two, where do we go from here? I know people are pegging $100 [per barrel], I think that's just an easy number... and what we have to keep in mind is when the start of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began, we saw oil prices spike all the way to $125, I don't see that happening."

How best to safeguard your portfolio amid geopolitical risks

Israel has launched a retaliatory attack on Iran, but markets have shown a relatively muted reaction to the news. Carson Group Global Macro Strategist Sonu Varghese joins the Morning Brief to provide insights on how to navigate one's portfolio amid heightened geopolitical tensions. Varghese notes that the strike Israel launched was "smaller than expected," and although it initially weighed slightly on markets when first announced, stock futures are now trading flat on the news. However, Varghese emphasizes that these geopolitical tensions underscore the importance of maintaining "value in protection" when building investment portfolios. Varghese suggests that the key question to ask is: "Does this shift the macroeconomic regime that we are already in?" He explains that if the macroeconomic backdrop is already weak, "these sorts of geopolitical tensions add to that." Conversely, if the macroeconomic environment is strong, he does not believe that "geopolitical tensions will significantly exacerbate that."

Oil prices: Can Mideast tensions push them to triple digits?

Oil prices (BZ=F, CL=F) have slid down about 3% this week as some of the tension in the Middle East has eased after escalations as Iran targeted Israeli military bases. Oil production seems to remain continuous as none of the recent attacks have touched production facilities. Will this decrease last or could prices go back up to all-time highs? Path Trading Partners Co-Founder Bob Iaccino joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the potential for oil prices to spike and what would bring about those price increases, including recent geopolitical tensions. Iaccino affirms: "You're talking about geopolitics to get $200 a barrel. That's what gets these surprise shocks and sustainable shocks, depending on the assessed damage... We're talking about a military strike that disrupts supply. Then that would get us somewhere near that one hundred dollars and possibly exceeding its, depending on what that disruption would be..."
