Iran-linked strikes on the UAE's Fujairah oil terminal sent Brent crude soaring past $120, exposing fragile supply chains in a region already tense from Hormuz standoffs. Emirati defenses intercepted three of four missiles, but the psychological damage outpaced physical impacts.

The attack triggered instant risk-off rotations: US bonds fell as energy shocks amplified stagflation fears. Markets now price prolonged disruptions, with every unplanned outage rewriting 2024 growth assumptions.

This incident crystallizes the new oil market calculus—where geopolitical sparks meet thin inventories, price volatility becomes structural rather than episodic.
