Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the February 2026 military actions and subsequent de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz, have sharply tightened global crude supplies and pushed benchmark prices to multi-year highs above $120 per barrel. Production shut-ins by major exporters such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the UAE, combined with rapidly declining inventories, have amplified upward pressure despite a reported ceasefire. Traders are monitoring potential resumption of Hormuz flows, U.S. export increases, and any escalation risks that could sustain or reverse the rally. Seasonal summer demand and OPEC+ decisions remain key variables that could determine whether prices test or surpass prior peaks before year-end.
