The Impact of the Israel-Iran Conflict on Oil Prices
Iran is the third largest producer in OPEC, pumping out over 3 million barrels per day. Any disruption to its oil exports could have major ramifications on prices. There are also fears Iran could attempt to choke off the critical Strait of Hormuz between the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil passes each day.
When the Iranian attack occurred, oil prices initially spiked nearly 2% to around $88 per barrel for Brent crude., Analysts warn that any further escalation could easily push oil to $100 per barrel or higher.
For businesses, surging crude costs could squeeze already thin margins. Transportation companies face higher fuel expenses, while manufacturers grapple with pricier raw materials and rising shipping costs. Industries with energy-intensive production, such as chemicals, metals, and cement, are particularly vulnerable. Small businesses may struggle to absorb the added costs, putting their survival at risk.
The Israel-Iran standoff has highlighted the many pressure points that could disrupt energy markets – from the war in Ukraine to rebels near the Suez Canal to China-Taiwan friction. In this environment, companies need to brace for a world where sudden spikes in operating costs become an unfortunate fact of life.
