US Gulf crude prices rose to their highest since 2020 as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz forced several countries, including Iraq, to curb output. Flows of medium and heavy sour crude from the Persian Gulf are now largely cut off, and additional production cuts were announced.
Cut-off of medium and heavy sour crude tightens supply of the grades refiners rely on, lifting Gulf crude prices. Higher crude costs raise diesel and fertilizer costs for feed producers and support energy-linked commodity prices.
