Geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz remain the dominant driver of crude oil prices, with WTI trading near $82 per barrel and Brent around $88 as of mid-August 2026—well below the 2008 all-time highs near $147. Supply constraints from regional conflicts have supported recent gains of over 3% in the past month and 30%+ year-over-year, though easing inventories, recovering Persian Gulf production, and analyst forecasts for Brent averaging $85-86 in Q3 point to limited upside momentum. Market-implied odds reflect trader caution around potential oversupply later in 2026 and diplomatic developments that could reopen shipping lanes, keeping near-term resolution probabilities low. Key upcoming catalysts include weekly EIA inventory data, U.S. policy measures on Iranian exports, and OPEC+ output decisions that could shift the supply-demand balance and test resistance levels.
