Chevron's chief executive officer stated that if supply disruptions from global conflicts are not resolved, demand will need to decrease across various economic sectors. 'If we don't get supply reestablished, demand will have to come down across different sectors of the economy,' the executive said on CNBC's 'Squawk Box,' according to @SquawkCNBC reported.
The appearance focused on Chevron's first-quarter earnings results, with the executive emphasizing the resilience of the company's portfolio during the period.
This resilience was evident amid ongoing challenges, @SquawkCNBC reported. The first quarter refers to the period ending March 31, 2026, based on the current date of May 1, 2026. The discussion on 'Squawk Box' included the effects of the Middle East conflict on Chevron's production.
Disruptions to supply caused by the Iran war were also addressed by the executive. These global conflicts have contributed to the broader oil market outlook discussed in the interview.
