Oil prices surged in early trading following the commencement of US and Israeli military operations against Iran. On the ICE exchange in London, Brent crude oil for May delivery climbed<\/a><\/span> 13.04% on Monday, March 2, reaching $82.37 per barrel.<\/p>\n

Brent crude last traded above $82 on January 16, 2025, marking the first time in over a year. Following the initial sharp rally, prices pulled back to $79.38.<\/p>\n

Iran halts trade via Strait of Hormuz<\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 1, Iran announced it had suspended all trade through the Strait of Hormuz until further notice, citing it as a direct response to attacks on its territory.<\/p>\n

Approximately 20% of the world\u2019s oil supply and up to 30% of liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments pass through this strategic waterway.<\/p>\n

Tehran\u2019s decision has resulted in a congestion of vessels near the strait. According to Reuters data, at least 150 oil tankers have anchored in open waters, unable to transit the passage.<\/p>\n

Analysts warn of supply shortfall<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anna Butenko, an analyst at the data firm Pervaya, noted that despite current surpluses in the global market, a complete cessation of transit through the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a temporary supply shortfall of approximately 10 million barrels per day\u2014equivalent to 10% of global consumption.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Middle Eastern leaders have warned Washington that the conflict with Iran could push oil prices above $100 per barrel.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump projects that the military operation against Tehran may last four weeks. Simultaneously, Trump indicated that Iran’s new leadership has extended an offer to negotiate with the US.<\/p>\n

“They want to talk, and I have accepted. I will speak with them,” Trump said. “They should have done this sooner. They should have presented a proposal that could have been very practical and easy earlier. They waited too long.”<\/p>\n
