President Donald Trump escalated the conflict with Iran by threatening to severely target Iranian power plants and water facilities within 2-3 weeks, rejecting any ceasefire. This caused WTI crude oil prices to surge 9% above $110 per barrel, reflecting fears of prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz. The escalation raises concerns about global oil supply shortages and economic impacts, especially on travel-related stocks like airlines and cruise lines, which face higher fuel costs and margin pressure. Analysts warn this could lead to sustained high oil prices and economic strain through the second quarter and beyond.
