Why it matters
CL (Crude Oil (WTI)) · Why linked: Strait of Hormuz energy flows and geopolitical tensions directly affect crude oil pricing. Market context: Improving Hormuz flows could cap further upside, but residual risk premium remains.
BZ (Brent Crude Oil) · Why linked: Brent is the global crude benchmark most sensitive to European energy developments and Middle East supply. Market context: Tight European gas balances and Middle East risk premium could keep Brent supported.
