Oil: Tight gas outlook and conflict risks support prices – BNY
BNY’s Bob Savage reports that Oil remains a key market barometer as the Iran war disrupts supply, with Brent up sharply and the International Energy Agency warning that the global natural gas market will stay tight for at least two more years. The conflict has removed significant oil and LNG capacity, delaying new LNG expansion and reinforcing a prolonged period of constrained energy markets.
Iran conflict and IEA gas projections
"Oil remains the barometer, but fears of any U.S./Iran weekend escalation are looked through as the narrative continues to see a deal in the making."
"The global natural gas market is expected to remain tight for at least two more years as the Iran war continues to disrupt supply and delay the anticipated LNG expansion, says the International Energy Agency."
"The conflict has effectively removed around one-fifth of global oil and LNG supply, while damage to Qatari facilities has reduced liquefaction capacity and could take years to repair, pushing back the impact of new supply growth led by the U.S."
"The IEA estimates a cumulative shortfall of around 120 billion cubic meters between 2026 and 2030, reinforcing a prolonged period of tight market conditions."
"In response, gas demand has softened in key importing regions, particularly in Asia, as higher prices and policy measures drive fuel switching and reductions in consumption."

1. Cross-asset performance diverged this week. Between the October 30 and November 6 closes, the S&P 500 fell 2.68%, the Nasdaq 100 dropped 4.91%, and BTC lost 1.88%. Gold and silver rose 4.51% and 5.79%, respectively, while the Hang Seng gained 5.10%. Sharp declines in crude oil and some Asian equity indexes showed how differently assets responded to growth, policy, and event risks. 2. Democrats won majorities in both chambers of Congress in the US midterm elections, and markets rallied before reversing. We focus on actual changes in fiscal negotiations, key committee arrangements, and local industrial policy, especially data-center approvals, energy costs, and the pace of capital expenditure. We do not map party outcomes directly to asset direction. 3. The pullback in technology stocks has put returns on AI investment under renewed scrutiny. Whether rapid growth can cover financing, construction, and ongoing compute costs is becoming a key valuation test. For related positions, monitor policy implementation, customer capital expenditure, and cash collection together, and do not read a one-day rebound as a sign that the pressure has passed. 4. Anthropic's IPO preparations are putting the growth quality, operating profitability, and funding needs of AI model companies under public-market scrutiny. Valuations discussed for the offering are not final pricing, and participating in related products also requires assessing fees, allocation methods, asset rights, and trading restrictions.
