Oil Prices Rise Near $100 Amid US-Iran Tensions and Gulf Shipping Disruptions
Oil prices have risen amid escalating US-Iran tensions, with Brent crude nearing $100 a barrel despite disruptions to Gulf exports through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. While crude shipments from the Middle East have declined from 18 million to about 11 million barrels per day, alternative routes and ship-to-ship transfers have mitigated supply shortfalls. Goldman Sachs warns prices could reach $120 if shipping disruptions intensify. The conflict has led to attacks on oil facilities and military assets, raising concerns over prolonged supply risks.
