Crude oil all time high predictions

Oil prices have surged following threats from former U.S. President Donald Trump to initiate new military strikes on Iran. The geopolitical tension has led to increased concerns over potential disruptions in oil supply from the Middle East, a region critical to global oil flows. Historically, tensions involving Iran have resulted in sharp movements in oil prices, with Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) being particularly sensitive to such developments. Markets appear to be factoring in the risk of supply disruptions, which could impact the availability and pricing of crude oil globally.
