Oil Prices Soar to $120 Amid Prolonged Strait of Hormuz Blockade
Oil prices, including Brent and Mexican Mix, have surged to their highest levels since June 2022, reaching over $120 per barrel due to expectations of a prolonged blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. This is further exacerbated by former President Trump's declaration that the naval blockade will remain until a nuclear deal with Tehran is reached. Analysts predict continued volatility and prices above $100 per barrel in the coming months.
