Oil Stays Sub-$100 After History-Making Supply Shock

Crude prices remain below $100 a barrel despite the closure of the Strait of Hormuz that wiped out more than 10 million barrels per day of Middle Eastern supplies. A mix of record US exports, weaker Chinese demand, and a broad release of strategic reserves plus rerouted shipments have absorbed much of the shock. With inventories tightening and China’s buying faltering then rebounding, the market has shown resilience, but traders warn that persistent disruptions or a durable Iran deal could still spark a sharp price move as buffers dwindle.

Oil Holds Under $100 After Hormuz Shock, Fueled by Workarounds

Despite the Strait of Hormuz being effectively blocked for more than three months, crude prices remain below $100 a barrel thanks to record U.S. exports, a slowdown in Chinese demand, and workarounds that keep crude flowing through alternative routes. A pre-war surplus and steady shipments help absorb the shock, but global inventories are draining at a record pace, leaving the market vulnerable to further disruptions and potential price spikes as spare supply dwindles.

Oil Futures Underestimate Hormuz Shock, Oil Prices May Soar

Oil futures have not fully priced in the ongoing Hormuz-related supply shock; while futures are up about $30 vs February, they remain $20-30 below some physical cargoes trading around $130-$150 per barrel, indicating the physical market is tighter than the futures curve suggests. If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, prices could surge toward $150-$200 per barrel into the summer, and it could take months to restore flows (and years to repair damaged upstream/downstream infrastructure). Analysts warn the optimism around a quick reopening may blind markets to the scale of the disruption.

2026 Oil Shock: A Global Echo of 1973

The 2026 oil disruption is described as the largest in history and global in scope, sparked by Iran-related attacks on energy shipping after the US-Israel strike, with stockpiles and more efficient vehicles tempering demand but leaving markets volatile and the end of the shock uncertain. By contrast, the 1973 embargo caused panic buying and rationing, but today’s disruption spans economies and supply chains, potentially lasting longer.

Declining Immigration: The Hidden Factor Behind Economic Shifts and Labor Market Challenges

A significant decline in US immigration, especially at the southern border, is causing a major supply shock to the economy, potentially more impactful than tariffs, by slowing labor force growth and influencing monetary policy and currency value.

Bitcoin Soars Past $89K Amid Post-Election Crypto Surge

Bitcoin's recent price surge is attributed more to a post-halving supply shock than to Donald Trump's election victory, according to Onramp Bitcoin co-founder Jesse Myers. The April halving reduced block rewards, creating a supply-demand imbalance that drives prices higher. This pattern has historically led to predictable bubbles post-halving, as seen in previous cycles. Analysts suggest Bitcoin's scarcity and market dynamics will continue to push its value upward, with only 1.2 million BTC left to be mined.

"Unveiling the Impact of Strong Bitcoin ETF Demand on Halving's Potential Bullish Rally"

Experts predict that the upcoming halving of Bitcoin may not have as much of an impact on its price as in previous cycles due to the strong demand from spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have already pushed Bitcoin to new highs. While the halving historically causes upward pressure on Bitcoin's price, the approval of spot ETFs may have preempted its impact on supply. However, in the long term, the halving may still have a positive effect on Bitcoin's price and subsequently on ETF flows, as it accentuates the appeal of Bitcoin as an asset class to institutional investors and creates a supply shortage that impacts ETF flows.

Israeli Central Bank Governor Warns of Economic Impact as Likud MKs Push for Permanent Ban on Palestinian Workers

The ban on nearly all Palestinian workers entering Israel following a terror attack has caused a supply shock to the Israeli economy, particularly in the construction and agriculture sectors, with potential impacts on prices. The ban has also hurt the economy of the West Bank and led to pressure on lawmakers to allow some workers to return. The Finance Ministry warned of significant economic damage, and the central bank governor emphasized the need to monitor price developments and prevent financial instability in the face of potential expansion of the war.
