Oil supply scare keeps prices elevated
|
|
Oil markets are pricing in a supply premium after geopolitical tension around the Strait of Hormuz—a critical chokepoint for global crude flows—escalated when the U.S. rejected Iranian peace overtures. Volatility remains steady, but the market is moving faster on fresh news than usual because traders are already braced for disruption. When supply fears are priced in, even small headlines move prices.
