The price of oil rose by 2.8% on August 30, 2026, reaching near $86 per barrel, driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East.

The increase marks the largest gain in three weeks and is attributed to a series of military strikes between the US and Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy chokepoint, remains at risk due to ongoing hostilities.
