WTI crude futures have surged more than 40% so far this month to their highest levels since 2022. The rally followed U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, which prompted Tehran to halt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for about a fifth of world oil.
Analysts expect further gains as the conflict threatens export facilities.
Halted Hormuz shipping removes a major share of global crude flows, sustaining higher crude prices and raising fuel and freight costs for feed supply chains.
