OIL MARKET EXPLOSION & SUPPLY CHAOS
Brent just surged past ~
$118/bbl and WTI is flirting with ~
$95–
$99 as Gulf supply collapses under repeated strikes on energy infrastructure & the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut — blocking ~20% of global flows.

Iraq has declared force majeure, exports are collapsing, and regional retaliation is expanding — traders are pricing in historic supply shocks and risk premia like we’ve never seen.
With global crude flows strangled and attacks spreading across Gulf energy assets, markets are bracing for persistent inflation pressure, risk of central bank repricing, and macro contagion if the disruption persists.
This isn’t just a spike — it’s a structural shock to the oil complex. If this lasts weeks, analysts are even whispering of
$150–
$200+ oil scenarios.

Energy majors ripping, but beta & oil services could go ballistic as crude stays elevated.
