Oil Surges on Hormuz Blockade

Global oil prices surged as tensions involving Iran persisted and the Strait of Hormuz remained effectively constrained.
On April 29, Brent crude climbed above $118 per barrel, reaching its highest levels in years, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) also surged past the $100 mark.
The rally was largely driven by remarks from Donald Trump, who stated that the blockade would continue until Iran agrees to terms regarding its nuclear program.
Markets are increasingly concerned that oil prices may continue rising if the blockade persists for an extended period. Ongoing supply disruptions could maintain upward pressure on prices.
Higher energy costs are also fueling inflation concerns globally, with gasoline prices in the United States rising noticeably.
Meanwhile, U.S. markets ended mixed amid uncertainty. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, reflecting caution over inflation risks and economic outlook.
Analysts believe volatility in both energy markets and financial markets may continue as long as geopolitical tensions remain unresolved.
