Crude oil prices reach a peak in 4 weeks, U.S.-Iran conflict intensifies

With the escalation of conflict between the U.S. and Iran, international oil prices reached their highest level in 4 weeks on 14 of 7 month, 2026 year. This price increase is attributed to reports related to military tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
Recently, there have been a series of attacks related to the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. This has raised concerns about the safety of key oil transport routes.
Market participants are watching the expansion of military activities near the Strait, anticipating that it may lead to supply disruptions. As a result, upward pressure was applied to both futures and spot prices.
This move has highlighted the vulnerabilities in the global energy supply chain. In particular, the oil market, which is highly dependent on maritime transport, has shown a tendency for geopolitical risks to be immediately reflected in prices.
In the previous trading session, energy-related assets exhibited price volatility. This trend was associated with local military tensions, leading to an expansion of short-term volatility.
Market participants have stated that they are closely monitoring the potential for further military clashes and the safety situation of shipping routes. There is a possibility that oil prices may be immediately affected whenever relevant information emerges.
