Oil Prices Jump Above $90 After Tit-for-Tat US-Iran Strikes

Oil prices surged above $90 following tit-for-tat strikes between the United States and Iran, raising concerns over supply disruptions and escalating tensions in the Middle East.

The sharp rise reflects growing uncertainty in global energy markets as investors assess the potential impact of the conflict on oil supplies.

The escalation has increased concerns about regional stability and the security of critical energy routes, adding pressure to already sensitive markets.

Higher oil prices could have wider effects on global economies, particularly by increasing energy costs and adding to inflationary pressures.

Markets are closely watching further developments between Washington and Tehran as concerns grow over the potential for a broader regional escalation.
