Norbert Rucker, head of economics and next generation research at Julius Baer, said the attack and closure of the Saudi East-West pipeline “rattle the oil market” and keep prices “well supported” for the time being.
“The event raises the uncertainty levels surrounding the supply trends and price paths for the coming days and weeks,” he said in a note.

The analyst has lifted his view on oil to “neutral” from “cautious”, due to the more limited visibility and greater range of possible outcomes at this juncture.
“The key questions centre (on) the seriousness of the damage, the duration of the required repair work, and the volumes lost for the market,” he added.
