Crude oil prices surged by more than 2% to over 90 dollars per barrel following military actions between the United States and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. The escalation began when the United States launched attacks on two launch platforms on the Iranian island of Larak (or Larek) located in the strategic strait. In response, Tehran carried out retaliatory strikes against two United States air bases.
The hostilities have introduced significant uncertainty regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, directly driving the commodity market reaction. European benchmark Brent crude climbed nearly 3% during early morning trading as markets reacted to the heightened geopolitical tensions and supply route concerns in the region.
