Geopolitical risk in the Middle East creates supply concerns and risk premiums; Asia's continued demand and strong refining margins support crude intake, typically lifting Brent and ETF proxies like BNO. Historical episodes show Brent spikes when regional tensions rise, providing upside for oil-focused funds over weeks to months.
