🚨 US–Iran Tensions Escalate: What Happens to Oil?
The latest escalation involving oil tankers around the Strait of Hormuz is putting the global energy market back under pressure.
🛢️ Why traders are watching crude:
Tanker attacks increase the risk of supply disruptions.
Hormuz is a critical route for global oil flows.
Higher shipping risk can push the oil risk premium higher.
Brent has already moved close to the $100/barrel zone.
📈 My bias: Bullish on crude oil while the escalation continues.
But I wouldn't blindly chase the move. If tensions ease or shipping flows normalize, some of the geopolitical premium can quickly disappear.
Key levels to watch: $100 → $105 → $110
⚠️ Geopolitical trades can reverse violently. Manage risk.
Do you think Brent breaks $100, or will the geopolitical premium fade?
