Chubb CEO Warns of Threat to Global Oil Supply Stability
Chubb's top executive has raised alarms about a significant disruption risk to worldwide oil supply, signaling concern across insurance and energy markets.

An executive of his stature flagging supply-chain risk in oil adds a significant institutional voice to concerns that have previously been expressed mainly by energy analysts and government officials.
