Scenario outlook

Probability-weighted
Base case45%
Brent range-bound

Headline-driven, choppy trade with no clean resolution — incremental diplomacy against a steady drumbeat of incidents. Prices stay near current levels.

Downside / escalation30%
Brent sharply higher

A fresh chokepoint disruption or supply outage re-prices the risk premium up; refined-product cracks widen as strain moves from crude into diesel and jet.

Upside / de-escalation25%
Brent lower

Verified de-escalation and restored transit pull the premium out; ample inventories and softer demand let crude drift lower.
