Global oil markets have been thrown into turmoil by the US and Israeli war against Iran. With shipping through the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut amid the conflict, this could push oil prices higher with any supply shocks driving Brent toward $90 and $100.
Easing tensions or the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz may cool supply-side fears, triggering a decline back toward $80, $78 and $75.
