Israel-Palestine Conflict Poses Limited Oil Supply Risk Unless Tensions Spread Regionally
-
Oil prices may spike on Monday but overall impact expected to be limited unless conflict escalates further.
-
Israel and Palestine not major oil producers, but conflict is near key oil-producing region.
-
Israel has 2 refineries with 300k bpd capacity but little oil production. Palestine has no oil production.
-
If conflict spreads regionally, involving US, Iran, etc. impact could be greater.
-
Global inventories are low, so conflict has potential to impact supply and prices over time.
