Oil Prices Plummet Below $100 Amid Middle East Disruptions
Brent crude oil prices have dipped below $100 per barrel, currently trading at $92.82, due to disruptions in Middle East supply lines affecting the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.
The drop in oil prices is creating uncertainty for Big Tech companies that have invested heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) capital spending, with approximately $725 billion allocated for 2026.
Market participants are now assessing how these developments might impact the likelihood of crude oil reaching a new all-time high by September 30.
