Oil prices are rising sharply due to renewed US naval blockades on Iranian shipping and increased tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit route. Brent crude is holding above $85 and WTI above $80, with forecasts suggesting WTI could break $90 and Brent could reach $100 if key resistance levels are surpassed. These geopolitical risks, combined with attacks on UAE oil tankers and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, are tightening global oil supply and pushing prices higher. Higher oil costs may increase inflation and slow global economic growth, making the situation critical for investors to monitor closely.
