Oil prices are going up due to Middle East conflicts

[sunsilk]

I guess that we will see batches of oil price hike for the upcoming weeks. Trump keeps on posting about the potential negotiation but later, he said that there won't be as well.

It's Iran that's now demanding of what they really want. I think that Trump should negotiate with that but he won't.

Until peace is restored, oil prices will not fall anytime soon. However, I do not think it will go any higher. I mean, it will not break any new records. Oil prices will fluctuate around $100 until the war is completely over.
Nearly two months have passed, and the economy is gradually adapting to the war.

I hope that you're right that it stays there and it won't be higher from now on. I think its price is near or at least par with the Ukraine/Russia peak oil price.

We're all the pawns of these wars affected by the impact of it but I feel pity for the actual innocent lives in the ground.

We are merely pawns, tools for politicians to use. They never cared about us and were willing to make sacrifices to achieve their political goals.

Yet, they need us for weaponizing our strength and labour for taxation.

Yeah, Iranians are refusing to negotiate further and they hold and call all the shots. Donald Trump would most likely do that but Prime minister Netanyahu would breach it. I don't know what he has on Trump constantly using to pressure his ass.

We will not see it I guess in the nearest time that there will be a negotiation that's agreed by all three of them.

But not that bad to hope for the best.

It seemed that the price would decrease and even return to a certain level of normality, but the barrel hit over $100 again. The conflicts, despite the established "truce," have not yet ended, and any given reason could restart them. Everything is still very uncertain; it is too early to consider any resolution. It is possible that the price will remain high until this is resolved.

It is getting out of hand because the price of fuel is affecting other commodities which almost 90% of the world as suffering from this, the only thing I'm praying for is for them to find a way to resolve all this issues so that the price can become normal and things that skyrocket will come back to normal. The conflict is definitely affecting everything and it is high time they come to agreement to stop all this. It's like israel and America does not want us to live because I don't see why a single person will be detecting their activities, let us end it so that we start to live in peace once again.

The funny thing is, USA should have predicted this, and it is not really a shocker to anyone who knew the strait and who knew that this would happen. So they accepted the fact that economically this would be bad, and they could strong arm Iran to a point where they would just white flag out of the war.

When Iran did not, even after their leader was killed, and kept on resisting, USA started to realize this could go on longer than they want to. They have an economical version of Vietnam war in their hands now because of it.

We are all getting a lesson in how literally everything is linked to Oil.

When the supply is compromised everything is affected from Manufacturing, transportation and supply.

What people are not talking about as much is the supply of LNG of which 30% of the global supply comes through
the strait of Hormuz. Throw in Helium which is used to make microchips and is used in MRI scans in hospitals,
and linked to LNG is fertilizer, again 30% of the global supply is disrupted.

The knock on effects is going to be higher pricing and food shortages in certain areas, potentially Africa in relation to
Food. And the triple shock of Oil, LNG and Fertilizer will be felt globally.

Yes. We must learn from the Middle East war especially the lessons every country must learn from the Middle East war's impact on oil prices. The government must be prepared for the challenges faced during war when formulating economic policies understanding how global shocks ripple through a country's economic system directly impacting society. Therefore, the government must be able to respond early with an appropriate and targeted approach to ensure resilience even during war.

The impact of the Middle East war does indeed affect consumers worldwide. It could also be said that the Strait of Hormuz crisis will cause oil prices to rise, ultimately impacting the cost of living. So this isn't just a story about oil prices. It's about how a far-reaching crisis can burden the cost of living for everyone. When oil prices rise, the impact can spread throughout the supply chain, from transportation costs to industrial inputs ultimately affecting the prices of food and everyday goods. I hope the Middle East war ends soon and the two countries can achieve permanent peace.

When the factors affecting prices return to normal, prices should fall, but in some places prices are not falling, and this is causing the economy to worsen. War affects the price of everything. The increase in the price of oil causes the prices of many goods to increase. A solution needs to be found for this. In particular, after the price of oil falls, the prices of other products should also fall.

The situation in the straits affects the course of the war because the economy is one of the biggest forces influencing wars.

The Federal Reserve specifically emphasized the high level of uncertainty due to the war in the Middle East. Inflation in the US has remained above the 2% target for five years now, and even accelerated in March due to rising gasoline prices. The labor market is holding up, but job growth has almost stalled, and the economy has become more vulnerable. Oil prices are rising. Yesterday, they even reached 120, and inventories are dwindling. Disruptions in oil supply chains will impact real capital expenditures. And why do I think this? Well, take for example the fact that countries are actively drawing down their reserves. Moreover, in a couple more months, reserves will simply become insufficient. Speaking specifically about the price of Brent crude, it rose to its highest level since June 2022 amid signs that flows through the Strait of Hormuz may be completely suspended for an extended period, fueling concerns about a rapid decline in global oil reserves.

Sometimes I get this feelings that the Middle East knows how important they are to the world that's why they some how find a way to make things look difficult for everyone because getting oil to the next country it comes through that path and obstructing the distribution is a way to show how powerful they are. Now they are using the only way to move oil as a battle ground and if this side doesn't agree to the terms of the other they shut that area down, is not suppose to be so, for me they know what they are doing and in no time I wish for it to come to an end.

[Leahized]

I want to let us know that oil price cannot stop not to be going on or up unless the battle between Iran and the Israel is being negotiated and the settled amicably so at this point the price of oil will continue to increase because the boundary or the central place oil passes to reach the order nations has being block due to the crisis so that is one of the things that will make the price of oil to continue to increase above what we expected or what we are expecting

It seems normal for oil prices to rise now. Although economically, the price of everything is increasing due to the oil crisis in many countries. But until the war between Iran and Israel is resolved, this problem will not be resolved. However, I saw in a news yesterday that America had a problem with Russian submarines.There is no correct information if it has been resolved. And since the strait of hormuz is not fully opened right now there will be problems. And the price of oil will continue to increase.

Just yesterday we have experience some increase in our fuel which also get me scared because it is a sign that the high price of fuel is not going back now. strait of hormuz is temporary open but not for all countries and despite that we are still experiencing the high fuel price which I expected it to drop but keep increasing. I don't know the benefit of this war to entire world because I view it left and right to see it benefits but I couldn't see any tangible things to hold on to. It is just all about personal interest that is putting the entire world in Crisis, this is not for the humanity because currently things are getting worse.

The sudden surge in crude oil prices is due to the US rejection of Iran's new peace proposal, raising concern that the conflict will not end anytime soon.

Furthermore, the Strait of Hormuz appears to remain completely blocked by both Iran and the US. No oil tanker are permitted to pass through that area.

War has never been for the common benefit of humanity or the world, it happen due to the interest of certain countries and their allies. All the great power act only in their own self-interest, none of them think of humanity.

[summonerrk]

As a result of a last events bets on the Polymarket that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened in May have fallen to 16%. As for oil prices, they rose and traded above $105 yesterday. Prices even jumped higher yesterday. As for deferred rates on the Brand brand, they reached a new high for December 2026. And this, of course, is causing some concern among the global economy. As for gasoline prices at US pumps, they have reached new record highs, and the American establishment is becoming increasingly nervous. But for now, the US economy is largely ignoring the consequences of a significant increase in fuel prices.

[MaeBTCTalk]

Yes, that’s expected. Conflicts in the Middle East can disrupt oil supply, especially around key routes like the Strait of Hormuz where a large share of global oil passes. When supply is at risk, prices go up. That usually leads to higher fuel, transport, and overall living costs.

No one benefits from the war except the sellers of the weapons. There's no benefit from this war and all of the closure of the paths for the important supplies that the world is consuming like oil and the fertilizers too.

especially around key routes like the Strait of Hormuz where a large share of global oil passes.

They say that it's 20% to 25% of supply of the world goes there. That's a big figure, 1/4 or 1/5 of total world's supply that passes through. It certainly big but if there are other suppliers, they should have a way to produce and cover what that Strait is blocking.

[Iranus]

To put it bluntly, if the US and Israel did not gain anything from the war, they would never have started it. War can bring benefits, but it only benefits certain groups, not the whole world. That is why war has existed for thousands of years alongside the development of humankind. Billions of war have taken place around the world over the past thousands of years, war is nothing new.

You have probably forgotten, but the US is the world's largest oil exporter, and their oil export are skyrocketing.

The US gained a great deal from this war.

If it had been predicted, I'm sure the US wouldn't have attacked Iran. The surge in oil prices due to the Strait of Hormuz blockade probably didn't occur to the US at first. From the start, the US confidently declared it would cripple Iran in just a week, but now, weeks have passed and the war hasn't ended. Even from this war, we know Iran is a powerful nation it can even make other countries think hard about the blockade, which has impacted the global economy.

Perhaps the US initially thought this would be a short war, especially since the US assassinated Iran's supreme leader and several other high-ranking officials on the second day. But that didn't weaken Iran in fact it became stronger and Iran began making peace offers to the US that the US wasn't sure it would fulfill. So, I think Trump didn't think carefully before starting this war; he underestimated Iran. The Strait of Hormuz remains a powerful bargaining chip because it is a vital route for global oil.

Yeah, oil is the only weapon owned by the middle east country. So they try to manipulate it by themselves. If they were not thinking like that, there would never be an organization for oil cartel called OPEC who controlled the production of oil in order to manipulate its price.

You can imagine if there will be no oil in middle east. I don't think they will be invaded or as rich as now.

Beside that as per Trump's update. US will no longer block Hormuz unless Iran will agree with US terms.

They will never live together. Why? It's all because radical religious fanatics came to power. All these teachings drove them crazy, and now we see this picture.

High fuel prices? Hmmm... Wait, this is just a temporary phenomenon. Transport companies have begun introducing electric trucks, which means the need for oil will gradually decline. Those who understand this now will become the leading companies.

US gained lot from this war but its Arab allies are the one who paid heavy price for this war. Just before this war, we saw US doing a regime change operation in Venezuela and got control of its oil reserves. Now it seems like war is going to end very soon and its high time for Arab countries to think and take necessary actions to improve there defence capability. Oil alone can give you money but won't be able to defend you from enemy coming to invade or destroy you. We saw Venezuela, an oil rich country was not able to defend its President and UAE also is in same scenario.

[Codeunkie1992]

you have made a solid point. Oil prices often rise on fear and expectations, not just actual supply disruptions, as traders quickly price in geopolitical risks. The real impact is how this spills into inflation, affecting fuel, transport, and everyday living costs globally.

The war in the Middle East has affected the whole globe, and the Iranians are important, and that is why everyone is suffering from what is happening. It does not look like the war is going to end, and that is where the USA made a lot of mistakes, and now it has affected us, and I don't know why it is affecting countries that are producing oil, because now the importation is what makes the price high for countries that they are exporting to, not the producers.

And it has gotten very serious, and the way they need to resolve this thing before it gets out of hand is because it has affected everything in the market, and they need to come to a resolution for the peace of it all. so that we all can go back to normal life instead of suffering from this inflation. And they already know that they are important. So the rest have to come to terms with them, so just wait to see how all this will end.
