Original source

Crystol Energy CEO Carole Nakhle discusses the energy market as oil extended gains and traders weighed a US plan to insure and escort tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. "What we are seeing today has caused some disruptions," Nakhle tells Bloomberg Television. She adds that the market is "not panicking" and the increase in the risk premium is "justifiable," but that further escalations in the region could lead to a "worsening scenario when it comes to oil price."
