Crude oil price $100 per barrel talk grows as Brent hits $85.31, WTI $79.70. Up 19% since late February war began. Analysts flag $100 retest if hostilities persist.<\/em><\/p>\n

The prospect of a crude oil price $100 per barrel move has moved back into focus this week, with Brent crude climbing to $85.31 a barrel and WTI at $79.70, as renewed United States military strikes on Iran and a reimposed naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz reignite the geopolitical risk premium that has defined oil markets since late February.<\/p>\n

Brent crude has risen roughly 19 percent from levels seen before the US-Israel war on Iran began in late February, and has surged more than 20 percent from its recent trough below $70 a barrel touched on 1 July, shortly after Washington and Tehran had signed a memorandum of understanding intended to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

The crude oil price $100 per barrel scenario is not universally expected, but the shift in tone among analysts over the past week shows how quickly sentiment can change once a fragile ceasefire breaks down and military strikes resume near a critical global shipping chokepoint.<\/p>\n
