Crude oil prices are surging towards $100 per barrel as Middle East supply risks intensify, driven by genuine physical supply concerns and geopolitical tensions. The price of WTI crude is up 1.3% to around $93.81 per barrel on TradingView, while Brent crude has reached a high of $99.46.

The escalation of hostilities in the region has disrupted Saudi energy facilities and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains well below normal. Iran-backed Houthi forces attacked Saudi energy facilities, forcing operations to halt temporarily at some locations and injuring 73 people.

Goldman Sachs warns that oil could reach $120 per barrel if attacks on Middle Eastern shipping intensify, while the bank has raised its December 2026 Brent and WTI forecasts by $5 to $85 and $80 respectively.
