| A new Ukrainian strike is making headlines. |  | The public story is about drones, targets, and damage. But buried beneath the coverage is a much quieter story. We stumbled across evidence suggesting the real advantage may have come from technology quietly supplied by the United States. It is rarely discussed publicly. But once you see what it does, the success of the strike begins to make much more sense. Click here to learn more | | | |

The Middle East Conflict Has Left Global Energy Markets With Both Winners and Losers — and Goldman Has Mapped Them |
|
|
As the Iran war's six-month mark passes and the Larak Island escalation resets the energy market's near-term trajectory, Goldman Sachs has published a comprehensive mapping of the global energy market winners and losers from six months of Hormuz disruption — a document that captures the conflict's structural impact on energy economics with more precision than any prior official assessment. |
The middle east conflict leaves energy winners and losers, according to Bloomberg's Goldman Sachs energy research coverage. The winners in Goldman's assessment include producers whose output is not Hormuz-dependent and who benefit from the elevated price environment the disruption has created: U.S. shale producers, North Sea operators, West African exporters, and Venezuelan output under the new U.S.-managed production framework. Each of these producers has been selling into a market that pays a significant premium above pre-war levels specifically because Hormuz-dependent Gulf production is running at two-thirds of its pre-war volume. |

| KEY TAKEAWAYS | - Goldman Sachs mapped global energy winners from the conflict — U.S. shale producers, North Sea operators, West African exporters, and Venezuelan production — against losers including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, and American household consumers paying the same premium that is enriching domestic energy producers.
- The U.S. occupies a paradoxical dual position: domestic energy producers benefit from elevated prices while household consumers pay the $450 annual energy cost increase that Moody's documented — a distributional split that captures the war's internal economic inequality.
- LNG terminals, pipeline operators, and alternative route infrastructure have become a structural winner category, with facilities along rerouted supply chains generating premium revenues from a conflict-necessitated trade route restructuring that may persist beyond any diplomatic resolution.

The losers are the consumers and import-dependent economies that are paying the energy price premium: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, and the United States' own household and transportation sectors. Of these, the U.S. occupies the paradoxical position of simultaneously being a winner — elevated shale production economics have boosted domestic energy producer profits — and a loser at the consumer level, where household energy budgets are paying the same elevated prices that are enriching domestic producers. The $450 annual household energy cost increase that Moody's documented is, from the perspective of American shale producers, a $450 annual revenue windfall per household of equivalent consumption. |
The Goldman mapping also identifies a specific category of infrastructure winner: LNG terminals, pipeline operators, and energy storage facilities that have been able to charge premium rates for the rerouted supply chains that Hormuz disruption has necessitated. The conflict's six-month reshaping of global energy trade routes has created structural new revenue streams for infrastructure that sits along alternative supply pathways — infrastructure that was marginally profitable before the war and is now highly profitable. |
