📍 How it ended

The Iran war prompted a global effort to secure oil reserves and reshaped energy geopolitics, with nations seeking alternative suppliers and building buffers. As the conflict wound down, discussions shifted towards the long-term impacts on oil demand, particularly with the anticipated surge in electric vehicles.

The story so far

Oil futures have retreated to prewar levels as traffic through the Hormuz strait rebounds and the U.S. reassures Gulf allies. While the conflict triggered a global race to build oil reserves, the market is now adjusting as the war winds down.

Coverage from Bloomberg, Reuters, and the Financial Times emphasizes a wartime jolt that accelerated interest in renewable power and EVs. Goldman Sachs suggests the EV surge could reduce oil demand by late 2027, while a multilateral lender notes the war fueled renewables interest.

Attention is turning to China's role as a major oil buyer. While JPMorgan expects China to return as a major buyer in August, Bloomberg and Yahoo Finance report that Chinese imports may never fully recover from the war.
