How Russia's overheating war economy could get a boost if the Iran conflict sends oil prices even higher
The climb in oil prices stemming from the Israel-Iran conflict could end up boosting Russia's economy. US and international oil prices jumped in the wake of US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. Russia would likely welcome the boost to crude prices, as oil is the nation's top export. Oil prices spiked in the wake of the US entry into the Israel-Iran conflict, a development that could give a much-needed boost to Russia's war-weary economy. Brent crude, the international benchmark, traded around $76 on Monday, a day after the US bombed nuclear sites in Iran. That's up 14% from its price on June 12, the day Israel first targeted Iran's military leaders and nuclear program. Brent prices have climbed 26% from their low in early May. West Texas Intermediate crude traded around $74 a barrel, up 9% from the day of Israel's first attack. WTI prices are up 30% from their low last month.

The price of Urals oil, Moscow's flagship crude blend, also rose to around $63 a barrel on June 13, up 8% from its price on May 1, according to data from Argus Media cited by Bloomberg. A report from The Institute for the Study of War flagged the positive knock-on effects on Russia's economy, with oil being Moscow's top export — dnd the revenue that the Kremlin brings in from its energy trade is a key lifeline for its war effort in Ukraine. Russia put its economy on a war footing after the full-scale invasion, with President Vladimir Putin making moves to boost the output of the country's defense-industrial base. Production of key weaponry, like highly destructive glide bombs, drones, and missiles, has gone up since the start of the war. Russia has also increased contract bonuses and soldier pay to expand its invasion force upwards of 600,000 troops. "Continued rising oil prices following Israeli strikes against Iran may increase Russian revenue from oil sales and improve Russia's ability to sustain its war effort, but only if the price of oil remains high and if Russian oil does not come under additional international sanctions," the thnk tank said in a report last week, before the US entered the conflict over the weekend. Armed conflict between Israel and Iran — which the US joined on Saturday — also jeopardizes the Strait of Hormuz, a highly important passage for oil shipments in the Middle East. Russia is less reliant on this key transit route. The country has pivoted to selling its oil to Asian customers after getting hit with sanctions, and has rerouted more of its oil through the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca, according to the Energy Information Administration. "As long as the Straight remains at risk, political appetite for additional sanctions on Russian oil will remain low," The Royal United Services Institute, an independent British research institution, wrote in a note. The jump in oil prices comes at a pivotal time for Russia's economy, which has been bearing the cost of its war against Ukraine for over three years. In May, the nation said it would pull out another $5.5 billion from its liquid reserves to balance the budget deficit, which tripled in 2025. Russia's oil and gas revenue also dropped 35% year-over-year that month. According to the nation's Finance Ministry, the liquid assets in Russia's National Wealth Fund stood at 2.8 trillion roubles, or around $35.7 billion, in May. Calculations by Bloomberg show that's down 68% since the start of the Ukraine War. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's monthslong efforts to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table for peace talks appear to be going nowhere. Kyiv has denounced Putin's terms as effectively amounting to an unacceptable capitulation.

Oil Prices Tumble on Iran-Israel Ceasefire
Crude oil prices slumped today, following a social media statement by President Trump saying that the Iran-Israel ceasefire is now in effect, putting an end to the war that started on June 13. Israel has agreed to the U.S. ceasefire proposal, while Iran's state media has reported the ceasefire is now in effect after a final round of missiles. At the time of writing, Brent crude was trading at $68.78 and West Texas Intermediate was changing hands for $65.81 a barrel, both down by over 4% from Tuesday, when Iran responded to the U.S. bombing of its nuclear sites with a strike on a military base in Qatar. The first signs of a ceasefire came from President Trumps post on Truth Social in which he said, 'On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR','. The president then followed that announcement with a confirmation on the same platform, saying "The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!" There is still some uncertainty that the war is over. Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, had said that unless Israel stopped bombing it by 4 am Tehran time on Tuesday, the fighting would continue. According to Reuters, there have been no reports of new Israeli attacks on Iran since that hour. 'The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later,' the top official noted. Reuters, meanwhile, reported that President Trump had brokered the ceasefire in a phone call with Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, who had agreed to stop bombing Iran if Iran stopped bombing it, according to an unnamed White House official. Earlier this week, following the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, oil surged in anticipation of Iran's potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles a third of global maritime oil exports. Reports of tankers U-turning in the chokepoint or stopping outside it reinforced expectations that this time Iran may indeed go for the blockade, but in the end, the major disruption was once again avoided—for the time being.

Trump's Iran strikes may have given the Fed another reason to keep rates high
Trump wants lower rates, but he may have just given the Fed a new reason to sit tight. America's strikes on Iran sent oil prices higher, a development that could worsen inflation. Trump has often criticized the Fed and Jerome Powell for being too late to adjust policy. President Donald Trump's decision to strike Iran's nuclear sites could end up creating a new reason for the Federal Reserve to hold off a while longer before lowering interest rates. That's because a sustained surge in oil prices stemming from US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict could complicate the outlook for inflation. The Fed has held rates steady all year, to the dismay of the president, who has demand that borrowing costs come down. Trump threatened to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell earlier this year before backing down as markets balked at the idea. Others in the administration have also piled on, blaming the central bank for things like the housing supply crunch. Powell, for his part, insists that the central bank is taking a cautious but appropriate approach while officials wait to see how tariffs and other policies impact inflation. Now, oil could be yet another wrinkle in the Fed's forecast. Brent crude, the international benchmark, was about $76 a barrel on Monday after the US targeted three of Iran's nuclear facilities. The international oil benchmark is up 14% from its price on June 12, and around 26% higher since its most recent low in May. West Texas Intermediate crude traded as high as $74 a barrel, up 9% since June 12 and up 30% from the low last month. This embedded content is not available in your region. Prior to the Israel-Iran escalation, oil prices had been trending lower for most of 2025, contributing to much of the decrease in inflation. Energy was the only category in the consumer price index that saw an unadjusted decrease in the last 12 months leading up to May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Energy commodity prices were down 11.6% that month compared to last year, and gasoline prices were down 12%. Observers on Wall Street are eyeing the risks to inflation from the conflict. "The eruption of fresh hostilities in the Middle East adds to the case for a drift higher in the term premium over this decade," economists at TS Lombard wrote in a note last week, though the firm said that the shock to oil prices likely wouldn't be enough to meaningfully sway inflation in major economies. "The worry comes from the number of different negative supply shocks potentially hitting the US economy at the same time," the firm added, pointing to price increases stemming from Trump's tariffs and the potential inflationary impact of migrant deportations. Torsten Sløk, the chief economist at Apollo Global Management, saw similar pressures contributing to stagflation, a scenario where the economy slows while inflation remains stubbornly high. "In short, higher oil prices exacerbate the ongoing stagflation shock stemming from tariffs and immigration restrictions," Sløk wrote in a June note to clients. JPMorgan analysts said in a note on Monday that oil prices could potentially rise as high as $130 a barrel if conflict between Israel and Iran disrupts production in the Persian Gulf. Oil producers in the Middle East account for around a third of the world's oil supply, the bank added. It's worth noting that oil price shocks stemming from conflict are typically short-lasting. In a separate note, JPMorgan found that most conflicts involving Israel over the last 58 years didn't lead to a lasting impact on oil prices, despite an immediate price shock. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also nodded to the temporary effects of supply shocks at the central bank's last policy meeting. "Those things don't generally tend to have lasting effects on inflation," Powell said in response to a question about oil prices, adding that the US economy had become less dependent on foreign oil in recent decades. But Trump, who also made lower gas prices for Americans a key tenet of his campaign, appeared to be aware of the risks. The president demanded that oil prices stay low in a post on Truth Social on Monday. "EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I'M WATCHING!," the president wrote in his post. The comment came after a series of posts following the Fed's rate decision last week, when the president slammed the central bank chief for being "too late" and ordered the equivalent of 10 quarter-point rate cuts.
