The near-shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has entered its 11th week, cutting about 20% of global seaborne crude supply and causing Iraqi exports to drop by up to 90%. This geopolitical tension has kept oil prices elevated, with WTI crude rebounding to $102, supported by technical indicators and strong buyer interest. Brent crude remains steady near $110, supported by an ascending channel and moving averages. The ongoing supply disruptions and inventory trends suggest continued volatility, with bulls targeting higher levels around $105 for WTI. Natural gas prices also show bullish momentum amid normal seasonal inventory builds and moderating demand forecasts.
