Brent crude prices have surged to $92.69 per barrel, driven by fears of extended supply disruptions due to the escalating U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, which has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has led to significant market volatility, with U.S. crude oil futures climbing over 12% to $90.90. Analysts warn that if tensions persist, prices could reach $120 or even $150 per barrel. The situation has also impacted the labor market, with the U.S. unemployment rate rising to 4.4%, prompting speculation about potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts despite inflation concerns.
