Oil prices increase amid US-Iran tensions
Oil prices temporarily rose to over $93 a barrel due to American military strikes on Iran, with Iran responding by targeting U.S. bases in the region, leading to renewed tension in the Strait of Hormuz. Prices later declined after the U.S. military announced the end of the strikes, amid expectations that oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz would resume in the third quarter of 2026. U.S. oil inventories experienced a significant decrease of 9.1 million barrels last week, the largest drop since September, reflecting a decline in global supplies due to the escalation between the United States and Iran.
