Oil: Price jumps on Iran conflict escalation – Danske Bank
Danske Research Team notes that Brent Oil has surged toward USD 96 per barrel after renewed Israel–Iran hostilities, with markets reassessing regional supply risks. They highlight that the latest air strikes have undermined hopes for a broader deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Oil’s move is also framed against broader risk sentiment and upcoming United States (US) Consumer Price Index (CPI) and European Central Bank (ECB) events.
