Alkagesta CEO Orkhan Rustamov has been featured in European Business Magazine with an opinion piece examining the structural transformation taking place across global oil markets following months of disruption in the Gulf.

The article argues that expectations of a return to historically stable oil pricing may no longer reflect market realities. Drawing on recent developments across energy infrastructure, trade flows, and regional security, the piece explores how volatility is becoming a more permanent feature of the global energy landscape.

As Rustamov notes: “The security and stability the Gulf depends on — indeed the world depends on — for oil price normality has been shattered.”

The feature reflects Alkagesta's continued contribution to discussions shaping global energy markets and commodity trading.

Alkagesta CEO Orkhan Rustamov has been featured in City AM with a opinion piece responding to recent coverage of oil price movements amid ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. CITY A.M. is a London‑based business and finance newspaper, widely read across the UK’s financial community. It focuses on markets, economics, corporate affairs, and policy commentary, and is known for its sharp, opinion‑driven editorial style. Distributed primarily in the City of London and Canary Wharf, it has a reputation and influential voice for professionals in banking, trading, fintech, and energy.

The piece argues that the market's expectation of a return to stability is misplaced, noting that the last six months have demonstrated how even the world's most sophisticated oil and gas infrastructure remains vulnerable to events beyond producers' control. It points to accelerating pipeline projects in the UAE and Iraq as evidence that producers themselves are beginning to accept this new reality — and calls on traders and analysts to do the same.

Commenting in the piece, Rustamov said: "One of the key lessons from this whole episode in the Strait of Hormuz is that there is no longer a 'normal' to return to."
