Following this weekend’s strikes by the US, oil markets remain fairly stable as investors wait for Iran’s response. WTI 1M implied volatility surged to as high as 68% last week before ending the week at 51%. The WTI 1M implied-realized vol spread has halved from a high of 30 pts to 14 currently, as fears of significant oil supply disruption have abated somewhat. Notably, US inflation expectations have barely budged on this latest jump in oil prices, in sharp contrast to the 2022 Russia/Ukraine invasion.
