The oil market is currently in backwardation, where near-term futures trade at a premium over longer-dated contracts, reflecting a risk premium due to the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict. Despite hopes for a swift resolution, oil prices remain elevated with Brent crude near $99 per barrel, about 36% higher than pre-war levels.

The futures curve indicates a return to more normal prices by year-end, but with a lasting risk premium of around $10-$12 per barrel above pre-conflict levels.
