However, short-term risks for the oil market remain as a broader peace deal is discussed, and long-term questions are emerging as global suppliers and consumers seek to prevent a similar shock in the future. In this episode of “The Energy Forum,” Abhi Rajendran and Skip York explore what the market’s response reveals about the shifting foundations of global oil. Featured: Abhi Rajendran, https://www.bakerinstitute.org/expert/abhi-rajendran Skip York, Ph.D., https://www.bakerinstitute.org/expert/harold-skip-york Editor’s note: This episode was recorded on July 2, 2026, when the U.S.-Iran ceasefire was still in place, and oil prices were easing; since then, on July 8, President Donald Trump has declared the ceasefire “over,” and oil markets have repriced renewed geopolitical risk.
