Published 2026-06-08 00:05
Brent Crude surged 5.57% to $100.5/barrel, with WTI up 5.31% to $101.7/barrel, driven by Strait of Hormuz closure following Iranian missile and drone launches. This marks the 100th day of the US-Israel-Iran conflict, with oil prices remaining elevated despite mixed regional reporting where Brent was cited at $95.65/bbl (+2.75%) by Trading Economics, and $92.78/bbl by Oil Price API, demonstrating extreme volatility within the hour. Natural Gas futures fell as LNG export flows dropped due to Suez Canal maintenance and Hormuz restrictions. US Treasury sanctions targeting Iranian LPG smuggling networks and the interception of Iranian missiles and drones underscore escalating geopolitical tensions. The Disruption Index remains at 99, reflecting sustained global instability. Further escalation in the Persian Gulf will dictate immediate price trajectory.
