Comment la guerre en Ukraine affecte-t-elle les prix du pétrole
The Ukraine war continues to significantly affect global oil prices in 2026 by sustaining a geopolitical risk premium and exacerbating supply chain uncertainties.
Russia's ongoing role as a major energy producer means market reactions to conflict events remain highly sensitive.
Geopolitical Risk Premium
The conflict, now on Day 1,664, maintains a high risk premium on crude oil. Recent events, like the Russian drone hitting a train near the Ukraine Poland border soon after dignitaries passed through, demonstrate persistent regional instability. This direct threat to transit and security keeps oil prices elevated, reflected by Russia (87 tracked signals) and Ukraine (73 tracked signals) being top connections.
Supply Chain Impact
Despite efforts to diversify, the war forces complex rerouting and increases insurance costs for energy shipments. This ongoing pressure on logistics, along with heightened security concerns, contributes to higher operational expenses for oil companies.
