Oil Prices Jump, Asian Markets Plunge As Middle East Crisis Escalates

New Delhi: Asian markets plunged while oil prices briefly hit five-month highs on Monday amid concerns of disruption to energy markets after the United States joined Israel in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, escalating the Middle East crisis. Iran is the world's ninth-biggest oil-producing country, with an output of about 3.3 million barrels per day. Tehran exports almost half of that amount and keeps the rest for domestic consumption. And if Tehran decides to retaliate, observers say one of its options would be to seek to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz -- which carries one-fifth of global oil output. Oil prices were up over 2 per cent, their highest since January. Brent was up a relatively restrained 2.7 per cent at $79.12 a barrel, while US crude rose 2.8 per cent to $75.98. Asian stocks were also lower as traders digested the weekend's events, as investors anxiously awaited Tehran's retaliation to US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. Iran has threatened US bases in the Middle East as fears grow of an escalating conflict in the volatile region. Share markets in the US showed some resilience, with S&P 500 futures falling a moderate 0.5 per cent and Nasdaq futures down 0.6 per cent. In the Asian market, Tokyo's key Nikkei index was down 0.6 per cent while Seoul fell 1.4 per cent and Sydney was 0.7 per cent lower. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan also fell 0.5 per cent. In Europe, EUROSTOXX 50 futures lost 0.7 per cent, while FTSE futures fell 0.5 per cent and DAX futures slipped 0.7 per cent. Europe and Japan are heavily reliant on imported oil and LNG, whereas the United States is a net exporter. In commodity markets, gold edged down 0.1 per cent to $3,363 an ounce. The dollar, meanwhile, edged up 0.3 per cent on the Japanese yen to 146.48 yen, while the euro dipped 0.3 per cent to $1.1481. The dollar index firmed 0.17 per cent to 99.078. There was also no sign of a rush to the traditional safety of Treasuries, with 10-year yields rising 2 basis points to 4.397 per cent. More Volatility Expected Market participants are expecting more price gains amid mounting fears that Iran may retaliate against the US with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz-- which is only about 33 km (21 miles) wide at its narrowest point and sees around a quarter of global oil trade and 20 per cent of liquefied natural gas supplies. Tehran has in the past threatened to close the strait but has never followed through on the move. But, following America's action, Iran's Press TV reported that the Iranian parliament approved a measure to close the strait. Optimists are hoping that Tehran may back down now that its nuclear ambitions have been curtailed, or even that regime change might bring a less hostile government to power there. However, analysts at JPMorgan cautioned that past episodes of regime change in the region typically resulted in oil prices spiking by as much as 76 per cent and averaging a 30 per cent rise over time. "Selective disruptions that scare off oil tankers make more sense than closing the Strait of Hormuz given Iran's oil exports would be shut down too," Vivek Dhar, a commodities analyst at Commonwealth Bank of Australia told Reuters. "In a scenario where Iran selectively disrupts shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, we see Brent oil reaching at least $100/bbl," he added.

Oil prices hit 5-month high, Asian markets plunge as Israel-Iran conflict spirals with US entry

Oil prices, up over two per cent, hit a five-month high and Asian shares slipped early Monday, marking the global markets first reaction to the United States joining Israel in its war against Iran amid the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. This comes as investors across the globe factor in the ongoing conflict after the US on Sunday struck three of Iran's key nuclear sites. All eyes are now on Tehran's potential retaliation. Early moves were contained with no sign of panic selling across markets yet, news agency Reuters reported. Oil prices were up around 2.8%, but off their initial peaks. In the range of options Iran has, its Parliament has approved the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. The final decision will be taken by the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's Press TV reported on Sunday. This Strait, in the territorial waters of Iran and Oman, accounts for around a quarter of global oil trade and 20% of liquefied natural gas supplies. Countries around the Persian Gulf like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and UAE, which happen to be major oil producers, depend upon the Strait of Hormuz to access the open seas. With no sea route alternative, the blocking of the Strait would have ramifications for oil and LNG trade worldwide, leading to a sharp rise in prices. This fluctuation could then have a potential trickle-down effect on the prices of many other goods and commodities. Europe and Japan are heavily reliant on imported oil and LNG, while the US is a net exporter. As the world's third-largest consumer of crude oil with a high import dependency level of over 85 per cent, India is also extremely sensitive to oil prices. In the share market, S&P 500 futures was off a moderate 0.5 per cent and Nasdaq futures down 0.6 per cent. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.5, and Japan's Nikkei eased 0.9 per cent. EUROSTOXX 50 futures lost 0.7 per cent, while FTSE futures fell 0.5 per cent and DAX futures slipped 0.7 per cent. Meanwhile, US crude rose 2.8 per cent to $75.98. In currency markets, the US dollar was up 0.25 per cent against the Japanese yen at 146.415. This was after touching a one-month high earlier in the session. The euro was 0.33% lower at $1.1484, while the Australian dollar, often seen as risk proxy, weakened 0.2% to $0.6437, hovering near its lowest level in over three weeks. In commodity markets, gold edged down 0.1 per cent to $3,363 an ounce. During tensions in the West Asia region in the past, oil prices have shot up by as much as 76 per cent and rose over 30 per cent on an average over time, according to JPMorgan analysts. 'Selective disruptions that scare off oil tankers make more sense than closing the Strait of Hormuz given Iran's oil exports would be shut down too,' Vivek Dhar, a commodities analyst at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, told Reuters.

Oil prices continue to soar after US strikes on Iran

Oil prices surged in early trade Monday on concerns of disruption to energy markets after US air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Oil tankers pass through the Strait of Hormuz, (REUTERS) Asian stocks were lower as traders digested the weekend's events, with Iran threatening US bases in the Middle East as fears grow of an escalating conflict in the volatile region. Follow LIVE updates here Iran is the world's ninth-biggest oil-producing country, with output of about 3.3 million barrels per day. It exports just under half of that amount and keeps the rest for domestic consumption. And if Tehran decides to retaliate, observers say one of its options would be to seek to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz -- which carries one-fifth of global oil output. As trading opened on Monday, Brent and the main US crude contract WTI both jumped more than four percent to hit their highest price since January. They pared these gains, however and at around 0030 GMT Brent was up 2.2 percent at $79.20 per barrel and WTI was 2.1 percent higher at $75.98. Economists at MUFG warned of "high uncertainty of the outcomes and duration of this war", giving a "scenario analysis" of an oil price increase of $10 per barrel. "An oil price shock would create a real negative impact on most Asian economies" as many are big net energy importers, they wrote, reflecting the market's downbeat mood. Tokyo's key Nikkei index was down 0.6 percent while Seoul fell 1.4 percent and Sydney was 0.7 percent lower. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that the strikes had "devastated the Iranian nuclear programme", though some officials cautioned that the extent of the damage was unclear. It comes after Israel launched a bombing campaign against Iran earlier this month. Chris Weston at Pepperstone said Iran was able to inflict economic damage on the world without taking the "extreme route" of trying to close the Strait of Hormuz. "By planting enough belief that they could disrupt this key logistical channel, maritime costs could rise to the point that it would have a significant impact on the supply of crude and gas," he wrote in a note published Monday. At the same time, "while Trump's primary focus will be on the Middle East, headlines on trade negotiations could soon start to roll in and market anxieties could feasibly build", he added.
