President Trump called current Iran negotiations the "last chance" to end five months of conflict, pushing oil prices higher. Tehran denied formal talks are taking place, raising the risk of a diplomatic breakdown with direct consequences for global energy markets.
Oil prices fell more than 4% on Monday after President Donald Trump said he called off a planned military strike on Iran. The move unwound the geopolitical risk premium traders had built into crude prices, with broader market direction now shifting back to supply and demand fundamentals.
Brent crude surged past $100 a barrel on Thursday after Houthi forces attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, adding pressure to an already disrupted Strait of Hormuz. Goldman Sachs now sees Brent potentially exceeding $120 in Q4 2026 if both chokepoints remain closed.
Brent crude surged past $100 per barrel on Thursday, up more than 5% in a single session, as the Middle East conflict continues to escalate. The move raises fresh inflation risks for oil-importing economies and puts pressure on fuel costs globally.
Brent crude rose to $84.30 and WTI to $79.11 on Friday, with both benchmarks up nearly 12 percent for the week after the US launched six consecutive nights of strikes on Iran. Tehran has told Houthi forces to be ready to shut the Red Sea route if US strikes hit Iranian power infrastructure.
The US military struck an airport, bridges, and a railway station in Iran on Thursday as part of a sixth consecutive night of airstrikes described as targeting Iranian military capabilities. The campaign's expansion to transport infrastructure raises oil market risk and escalation concerns across the region.
Brent crude jumped over 3% to above $78 a barrel and WTI hovered near $74, extending last week's 5.4% gain, as US-Iran tensions drove traders to price in a geopolitical supply risk premium.
Brent crude jumped 4.38% to $79.50 a barrel and WTI rose 4.30% to $74.20 on July 13, extending a 5.5% rally from the prior week as U.S. and Iran military strikes stoked supply disruption fears. Analysts are now flagging $100 oil as a scenario worth pricing in if the Strait of Hormuz is threatened.
Brent crude hit $84.98 per barrel and WTI reached $79.79 on July 14, 2026, completing a 10% rally driven by the escalating US-Iran conflict. The spike raises fuel costs and inflation risks for major oil importers, including India.
Brent crude jumped above $78 a barrel and WTI above $73 after Iran expanded military strikes into the Gulf, sharply slowing shipping traffic through a key oil transit route.
The U.S. military launched fresh strikes on Iran amid renewed fighting over the Strait of Hormuz, sending oil prices sharply higher. The escalation threatens global crude supply flows and, combined with a tech selloff, is pressuring equity markets and complicating inflation outlooks worldwide.
US strikes on Iran sent Brent crude above $76 a barrel for the first time in two weeks, reversing a recent price slide. The move raises fresh fears about oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz, with direct consequences for fuel costs, inflation, and rate policy globally.
Brent crude crossed $80 a barrel on Friday, extending gains even after President Trump said oil prices would "come down very big." Markets are pricing geopolitical risk higher than political assurances, with potential knock-on effects for inflation and central bank rate decisions.
Brent crude climbed to $78.80 a barrel and WTI rose to $74.26 as renewed US-Iran war tensions pushed traders to price in a supply-disruption risk premium. For oil-importing countries like India, a sustained rally above $78 could widen trade deficits and pressure fuel prices.
Brent crude surged to $78 per barrel after the US launched fresh military strikes on Iran and President Trump declared the ceasefire "over." The move raises fears of supply disruption through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for nearly 20 percent of globally traded oil.
Brent crude jumped 6.3% to $78.80 a barrel after President Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire "over," removing a key stabilizing assumption from energy markets. The spike raises fuel cost and inflation risks globally, with India among the most exposed given its heavy reliance on crude imports.
President Trump declared the US-Iran ceasefire "over" at a NATO summit in Turkey after both countries exchanged dozens of new strikes across the Middle East. The collapse of the interim deal removes the main brake on further escalation, raising energy supply risks and pressing US allies to respond.
President Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran and confirmed the Strait of Hormuz will reopen for shipping. The deal removes a major supply-risk premium from energy markets and restores a route that carries roughly 20 percent of global daily oil supply.
Brent crude fell to $71.26 and WTI to $68.19 on Wednesday, both at four-month lows, after Donald Trump said US-Iran talks in Qatar were progressing well. Recovering tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz added to optimism that a supply disruption is less likely.
The US conducted a second straight night of strikes against Iran after an Iranian drone hit a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday. The back-to-back military operation raises the risk of disruption to a waterway carrying roughly 20 percent of global oil supply.
