Oil markets ‘in panic mode’ as analysts warn of even greater disruption
RIYADH: Oil prices climbed above $100 a barrel on March 9 for the first time since 2022 as conflict between the US-Israel alliance and Iran continued, but analysts believe more shocks could be on the way. The immediate concern for oil markets is no longer only the initial price shock, but how long supply and storage buffers can absorb a prolonged disruption to flows through Hormuz, a chokepoint that handles a large share of Gulf crude and liquefied natural gas exports. A further escalation around Iran’s Kharg Island export hub could deepen the shock.
