Oil Is Trading War Again — and $90 May Not Be the Ceiling
Oil surged 7.5% to $82.50 within 24 hours as the US-Iran ceasefire collapsed and fears over Hormuz return. The market is no longer trading supply and demand — it is pricing the risk that barrels may not reach buyers at all.

Oil Is Heading for a Glut — and the Price War Could Be Brutal
Brent is already back at pre-war levels, but the real danger lies ahead. If Hormuz stays open and producers pump flat out, scarcity could turn into a supply glut with alarming speed. The UAE is ramping up exports, Iraq wants more output, and Saudi Arabia will not surrender market share quietly. The next oil price war could send crude sharply lower.
