Chevron CEO Mike Wirth: Oil price buffers are 'played out' as risks from Iran war increase - The Business Journals
Why now
Thesis: Depleted oil buffers amplify Iran supply-shock risk
Catalyst to watch: Iran escalation or supply disruption
Main risk: Executive view, not confirmed event
Why it matters
Chevron's CEO argues spare capacity buffers that normally absorb supply shocks are depleted, so any Iran-related disruption could transmit faster into crude prices and inflation. This is a company executive's assessment, not a confirmed supply event.
