Oil slides after Iran sanctions widen, as traders book profits

Oil prices fell by more than $2 a barrel as investors booked profits after gains, despite the US expanding secondary sanctions on Iran. Brent settled at $92.17 a barrel and WTI at $85.01, with Morgan Stanley forecasting Brent could reach about $100/bbl later in the year. Analysts say the sanctions may have limited immediate impact on Iran’s oil revenues unless Tehran’s trading partners cut purchases, and they note ongoing congestion through the Strait of Hormuz as a supporting factor for prices.

Oil climbs as Iran weighs Strait of Hormuz ban on U.S. and Israeli ships

Oil settled higher by about $3 a barrel after Iran’s parliament committee reviewed a preliminary bill to ban U.S. and Israeli vessels from the Strait of Hormuz, with violators potentially facing fines up to 20% of cargo value. Brent crude ended at $82.49 a barrel and WTI at $77.29, as traders weigh the risk of supply disruptions through the Hormuz chokepoint, which handles roughly a fifth of global oil and LNG flows. The market also tracked regional tensions, including Houthis attacks in Yemen, which add to geopolitical risk for energy shipments.
