Brent crude tops $100 as US-Iran conflict escalates
–
Neutral summary
Brent crude oil prices surged above $101 a barrel on Wednesday evening for the first time since May, and exceeded $102 on Thursday morning, the highest level in three months, according to trading data. The rally was driven by an escalation of the US-Iran conflict: Tehran said it struck ten vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, including two American ships, and a military base in Jordan, in response to US forces sinking five Iranian oil tankers. Jordan reported its air defenses intercepted 18 of 20 missiles launched by Iran, with the remaining two landing in uninhabited areas and no casualties reported. Analysts expect prices to remain elevated for the rest of the year, while Bank of America forecasts a rise to $120 if the current intensity of hostilities continues.
