Trump’s Speech Impacts Oil Prices, 600 Million Barrels at Risk

President Donald Trump's recent remarks indicate the U.S. war against Iran may continue for weeks, leading to significant disruptions in global oil supply. Analysts project a loss of nearly 1 billion barrels of oil products by the end of the month, including up to 600 million barrels of crude oil. Brent crude prices have surged over 6% to exceed $107 per barrel, while U.S. crude tops $110, reflecting market reactions to prolonged conflict. The potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route, further exacerbates these supply concerns.
