Rohstoffe: 95 statt 200 Dollar: Warum der große Öl-Schock trotz neuer Angriffe im Iran-Krieg bisher ausbleibt

Ölpreise von bis zu 200 Dollar pro Barrel prophezeiten Experten wegen des Krieges. IEA und EU warnten vor Engpässen. Das Handelsblatt erklärt, warum diese Prognosen nicht eingetreten sind.

Rohstoffe: 95 statt 200 Dollar: Warum der große Öl-Schock trotz neuer Angriffe im Iran-Krieg bisher ausbleibt

Brussels, Frankfurt, and Paris are observing a significant oil price of 95 dollars per barrel, with a six percent weekly increase. The US military recently reported the sinking of the Iranian oil tanker "M/T Kylo." In contrast, during the beginning of the Iran war at the end of February, prices shot up from 72 dollars to over 119 dollars within days.

Some analysts even considered a 200-dollar price per barrel as realistic. Now, it seems the market has become numb. Despite the ongoing Gulf region oil exports being only about two-thirds of the pre-war level of 20 million barrels daily, the oil market has developed fundamentally differently than expected by many experts. The Handelsblatt answers the key questions.
