Supply Disruptions Reshape Global Energy Markets, Economics Professor Says

Global oil and natural gas markets face mounting challenges in the remaining months of 2026, according to Dr. Wafaa Ali, a professor of economics and energy.

Ali said supply disruptions are redrawing the map of global energy markets, placing the availability of oil and gas at the centre of the outlook for the rest of the year.

Her assessment pointed to growing difficulties across both markets, rather than pressures confined to a single energy source.

The warning highlighted supply stability as a key concern for the months ahead. No specific disruptions, price forecasts or estimates of their impact were provided in the available summary of her remarks.
