Oil prices, specifically Brent Crude and West Texas Intermediate, experienced significant volatility, initially surging past $100 a barrel to three-year highs due to supply cuts by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Government of Kuwait===Kuwait Petroleum Corporation amidst the expanding U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Fears of major disruptions to global supplies drove this increase. However, prices later retreated after U.S. President Donald Trump predicted a swift end to the Middle East conflict and Russian President Vladimir Putin shared proposals for a quick settlement. Trump is also considering easing oil sanctions on Russia and releasing emergency crude stockpiles to curb spiking global oil prices. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responded by stating they would prevent oil exports from the region if U.S. and Israeli attacks continued. The G7 nations are prepared to take measures but have not yet committed to releasing emergency reserves. Analysts anticipate continued high volatility in crude oil prices.
