Oil Loses Its War Premium After Trump Floats Strait of Hormuz Takeover

The statement triggered an immediate unwind of the conflict premium that had driven prices from the mid-$60s to an intraday high of $119.48, as traders repriced the probability that Iranian blockade threats would persist.

Oil Breaks $90 as Strait of Hormuz Shuts Down
Crude oil just posted its sharpest weekly gain in over two years after Operation Epic Fury — the coordinated US-Israeli strikes on Iran launched February 28 — effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic.
