The price of Brent crude oil experienced severe fluctuations in global markets within just two hours, dropping rapidly from one hundred thirteen dollars to ninety seven dollars. These rapid price swings were primarily driven by recent political developments and conflicts.
Donald Trump's post about negotiating with Iran and delaying attacks on power plants, coupled with Iran's denial, sparked these sudden changes. Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency, clearly stated that the world has already lost eleven million barrels of oil per day.
Financial markets and global investors are deeply concerned about the future of this crisis and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz. A prolonged conflict could significantly increase both energy and food prices worldwide.
