Global oil prices soar as markets price risk after US‑Israel strikes on Iran
Global oil prices jumped sharply in early Asian trading on Monday as markets priced in a record risk premium following a major US and Israeli military operation against Iran. Brent futures opened with a rise of about 13%, reaching $82.0 a barrel, before easing slightly.
A series of strikes over the weekend reportedly killed hundreds of people, including Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and a number of senior officials. Tehran retaliated with large‑scale missile strikes on Israel and on targets in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. A direct threat to supplies emerged after attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a route that accounts for around 20% of global oil consumption. ANZ analysts said that if the conflict moves into a phase of attacks on tankers, the probability of a long‑term supply shortfall would rise substantially.
At an emergency meeting on Sunday, OPEC+ agreed to increase production by 206,000 barrels per day. Analysts said the move would only partially offset potential losses from a full‑scale conflict between Washington and Tehran. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump on Sunday evening said the military campaign would continue in the coming days and warned of inevitable casualties among US service members.
