Key Facts

Saudi Arabia stated that its oil production in September reached its highest level since the start of the conflict. The Financial Times reported that output recovered to 81% of pre-war levels during the month, marking a significant rebound in the Kingdom's supply capacity.
The production revival now faces fresh risks due to renewed attacks on shipping throughout October. Geopolitical hostilities involving Iran have escalated, creating new supply chain vulnerabilities that maintain a risk premium on crude prices despite the improved production figures reported for the previous month.
