Oil closed above $100 as U.S.-Iran escalation and attacks on Saudi facilities heightened supply disruption risk across key routes including Hormuz and the Red Sea. Brent settled at $101.21 (+3.3%) and WTI at $96.05 (+3.2%), the highest closes since May 22, reinforcing a geopolitical risk premium. Near-term market focus shifts to physical availability, shipping security, and knock-on inflation sensitivity.
