Oil Markets: Why Could the Risk Premium Fade

Oil markets have recently reacted to geopolitical developments — but the more important signal may lie in how price action is evolving afterwards.

In this video, we look at why the risk premium in oil could begin to fade, despite ongoing tensions. The focus is not only on supply-side headlines, but on positioning, market adaptation, and shifting expectations around potential de-escalation.

When significant news fails to push prices higher, it may indicate that risks are already priced in — or that market participants are reassessing their impact.

This shifts the framework from reacting to headlines towards analysing market behaviour and follow-through.
