WTI Perp Rebounds 8% as Iran Scraps Hormuz Reopening Within Hours
WTI perp bounced 8.21% to $86.53 after Iran walked back Friday's declaration that the Strait of Hormuz was completely open to commercial traffic. The reopening lasted less than a day: parliament speaker Ghalibaf scrapped the agreement, and Iran's joint military command said control of the strait had returned to strict management. With the Lebanon ceasefire expiring April 21 and the EIA still projecting 9.1M bpd of Gulf shut-ins this month, the market is pricing the supply choke right back in.

WTI Perp Rebounds 8% as Iran Scraps Hormuz Reopening Within Hours
WTI perp bounced 8.21% to $86.53 after Iran walked back Friday's declaration that the Strait of Hormuz was completely open to commercial traffic. The reopening lasted less than a day: parliament speaker Ghalibaf scrapped the agreement, and Iran's joint military command said control of the strait had returned to strict management. With the Lebanon ceasefire expiring April 21 and the EIA still projecting 9.1M bpd of Gulf shut-ins this month, the market is pricing the supply choke right back in.
WTI Perp Drops 8% on Record May-June Backwardation Roll
WTI crude's 8.3% drop on the Hyperliquid perp happened while spot crude finished the day up 1.3% at $97.81. The divergence is structural: the perp oracle is mid-roll from the expiring May futures contract to the June contract, and the May/June WTI spread hit a record $14-17 per barrel driven by the Hormuz crisis. Weekend longs who chased the blockade spike to $103 are getting mechanically repriced as the oracle steps down to June levels.
WTI Reclaims $103 After Islamabad Talks Collapse and Trump Orders Hormuz Blockade
WTI crude rebounded 12.6% from post-ceasefire lows after 21 hours of US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad ended without a deal. Trump responded within hours by declaring a full naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, ordering the US Navy to interdict all vessels entering or leaving the waterway. The move effectively reprices the strait as closed for the foreseeable future, unwinding the brief ceasefire discount that had dragged crude below $95 earlier in the week.
WTI Drops 19% After Trump Announces Two-Week Iran Ceasefire
WTI crude fell from an intraday high of $117 to below $94 on Tuesday evening after President Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, conditional on Tehran fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan mediated the deal. It is the largest single-session oil drop since the 1991 Gulf War, but analysts are skeptical that meaningful crude flows will resume during the pause.
WTI Breaks $100 After Iran Kills the 15-Point Peace Plan
WTI crude hit a session high of $100.04 on March 27 after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected the U.S. 15-point peace framework, declaring Tehran has no plans for direct negotiations. The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed to Western-aligned shipping, with only four AIS-tracked vessel transits on Tuesday against a pre-war baseline of 120 per day. With nearly 500 million barrels of cumulative supply lost since the crisis began on February 28, the market is now pricing in a prolonged disruption through Q2.

WTI Dumps 9% as First Tankers Push Through the Strait of Hormuz
WTI crude fell from above $102 to $92 on March 16 after the first concrete signs that Strait of Hormuz traffic is resuming. Treasury Secretary Bessent confirmed the U.S. is allowing Iranian tankers through, and the first non-Iranian cargo ship transited the strait on March 15 with its AIS beacon on for the first time since the war began. The selloff layers on top of the IEA's record 400 million barrel strategic reserve release and Trump's push for an allied coalition to escort commercial shipping through the chokepoint.
WTI Snaps Back as Tanker Attacks Overwhelm Record IEA Reserve Release
WTI crude bounced 7.6% in five hours on March 11, erasing much of the prior session's 11% collapse. Fresh attacks on commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz reminded the market that the IEA's historic 400 million barrel reserve release is arithmetic noise against 16 million barrels per day of blocked supply.
