Oil Could Spike to $90 If Strait of Hormuz Shut, Citigroup Says
Brent crude could jump to around $90 a barrel if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, according to Citigroup Inc., which added that a prolonged halt to shipping through the crucial waterway would be unlikely.
'Any closure of the Strait could lead to a sharp price spike,' analysts including Anthony Yuen and Eric Lee wrote in a note, citing the bank's current bullish case scenario. 'But we think the duration should be short, as all efforts would focus on a reopening, so that it should not be a multi-month closure.'

World markets on oil watch as Middle East tensions flare
LONDON(Reuters) -Brent crude oil is up around 20% so far in June, and set for its biggest monthly jump since 2020 as Israel/Iran tensions flare-up. Although relatively contained, the rise has not gone unnoticed just three years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine triggered a surge in energy prices that ramped up global inflation and sparked aggressive interest rate hikes. Here's a look at what rising oil means for world markets. 1/ HOW HIGH? Oil prices have crept rather than surged higher with investors taking comfort from no noticeable interruption to oil flows. Still, pay attention. The premium of first-month Brent crude futures contract to that for delivery six months later this week rose to a six-month high as investors priced in an increased chance of disruptions to Middle East supply. It remained elevated on Friday. Trading at around $77 a barrel, oil is below 2022's $139 high, but is nearing pain points. "If oil goes into the $80-100 range and stays there, that jeopardizes the global economy," said ABN AMRO Solutions CIO Christophe Boucher. "We are just below that threshold." 2/ SUPPLY SHOCK? Traders have an eye on shipping, often seen as a key energy bellwether. About a fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes through the Hormuz Strait between Oman and Iran. Disruption here could push oil above $100, analysts say. Blocked shipping routes would compound any supply shock. Though the big oil producing countries that make up OPEC+ have promised an extra 1.2 million barrels a day, none has yet been shipped or delivered, said hedge fund Svelland Capital director, Nadia Martin Wiggen. Blocked shipping routes would mean this expected supply would not come into the international market, she said. She's watching freight rates closely. "So far, freight rates show that China, with the world's biggest spare refining capability, hasn't started panic buying oil on supply concerns," said Wiggen. "Once China starts to buy, freight rates will rise, and world's energy prices will follow." 3/ NO OIL, NO GROWTH Rising oil prices raise worries because they can lift near-term inflation and hurt economic growth by squeezing consumption. High oil prices work like a tax, say economists, especially for net energy importers such as Japan and Europe as oil is hard to substitute in the short term. Lombard Odier's chief economist Samy Chaar said that sustained oil prices above $100 a barrel would shave 1% off global economic growth and boost inflation by 1%. Unease rose after Israel launched its strike on Iran a week ago. An initial rally in safe-haven bonds soon evaporated as focus turned to the inflationary impact of higher oil. The euro zone five-year, five-year forward, a closely-watched gauge of market inflation expectations, climbed to its highest level in almost a month. "In the United States $75 oil is enough to, if it's sustained, boost our CPI forecast by about half a percent by the year end, to go from 3 to 3.5%," said RBC chief economist Frances Donald. Turkey, India, Pakistan, Morocco and much of eastern Europe where oil is heavily imported are set to be hit hardest by the rise in crude prices. Those that supply it; Gulf countries, Nigeria, Angola, Venezuela and to some degree Brazil, Colombia and Mexico should get a boost to their coffers, analysts say. 4/ OH KING DOLLAR A shift is taking place in the dollar. In recent years the currency has risen when oil rallies, but it has had only limited support from oil's latest rise, with a weekly gain of just 0.4%. Analysts expect the dollar's downward trend to resume, given expectations of limited Middle East risks for now and underlying bearish sentiment. It has weakened around 9% so far this year against other major currencies, hurt by economic uncertainty and concern about the reliability of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration as a trading and diplomatic partner. No doubt, a weaker dollar heals the sting from higher oil, which is priced in dollars. "For oil-importing countries, the dollar's fall offers some relief, easing the impact of soaring oil prices and mitigating wider economic strain," UniCredit said. 5/ COMPLACENT STOCKS? In the absence of an oil-supply shock, world stocks are happy to stick near all-time highs. "Investors want to look past this until there's a reason to believe this will be a much larger regional conflict," said Osman Ali, Goldman Sach's Asset Management's global co-head of Quantitative Investment Strategies. Gulf markets sold off on the initial news, then stabilised somewhat, helped by the higher oil prices. U.S. and European energy shares, particularly oil and gas companies have outperformed, as have defence stocks. Israeli stocks, up 6% in a week, have been the most notable outperformer. Stocks of oil consumers have been the worst hit, airlines stand out.

Oil Prices Climb for Third Straight Week
Crude oil prices were set for another weekly gain today, the third in a row, as Israel and Iran continued to bomb each other with no sign of willingness on either side to switch to diplomacy. At the time of writing, Brent crude was trading at $77.04 per barrel, with West Texas Intermediate at $75.67 per barrel as the latest war in the Middle East entered its second week. The benchmarks dipped slightly from Thursday. The hostilities have pushed tanker rates sky high, along with vessel insurance, with many shippers choosing to avoid the Strait of Hormuz altogether, not least because the deployment of electronic interference warfare that scrambles the navigational systems of ships, increasing the risk of an accident. This is the biggest physical-market driver of the oil price rally, with the potential risk for supply disruption still only potential. Indeed, earlier this week, prices retreated as traders changed their bets on the absence of any attacks on Iranian oil infrastructure of Iranian moves to close the Strait of Hormuz. 'Oil prices remain high due to doubled tanker rates and ships avoiding the Strait of Hormuz,' Price Futures Group analyst Phil Flynn told Reuters. 'The risk to supply is keeping them on edge while there have been no major disruptions of Iranian exports,' he added. ING estimated earlier this week that oil flow disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could push Brent crude to $120 per barrel. 'OPEC's spare capacity would not help the market in this case, as most of it is located in the Persian Gulf. Under this scenario, we would need to see governments tap into their strategic petroleum reserves, although this would only be a temporary fix,' the bank wrote. Meanwhile, the prospects of the United States joining Israel in pounding Iran remain unclear as President Trump avoided giving a categorical answer, saying the decision on that would be made within the next two weeks. U.S. involvement in the war would quite likely push oil even higher.

Iran Races to Get Its Oil Out Into the World
Iran is rapidly exporting oil, a sign of the unusual logistical steps that Tehran is undertaking as the US mulls joining Israel in bombing the Persian Gulf state. Satellite images of the oil storage sites at Kharg Island show that the reservoirs were only partly full on June 11, but were brimming with crude on June 18. Bloomberg's Alaric Nightingale reports.
