Oil Prices Jump Above $100 as Iran Conflict Cuts Supply, G7 Holds Off on Reserves

Oil Prices Jump Above $100 as Iran Conflict Cuts Supply, G7 Holds Off on Reserves

Oil surged roughly 10% Monday, touching highs not seen since 2022. Brent climbed to $102.29 a barrel, with U.S. West Texas Intermediate at $100.11 by 10:53 a.m. EDT, as the expanding U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran rattled Gulf supplies. Output cuts from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf producers continued, piling pressure while disruptions in Strait of Hormuz shipping lingered. The front month for Brent traded around $24 above six-month contracts — a sharp backwardation that points to immediate supply strains.

Wall Street Shaken by $100 Oil: Dow Drops, Airlines Slide, Rate-Cut Bets Pushed Out

Stocks on Wall Street slipped Monday, pressured by spiking oil that put renewed heat on inflation worries and weighed on travel and bank names, while chipmakers rebounded just enough to keep the Nasdaq mostly stable. By 11:58 a.m. EDT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had shed 398.03 points, or 0.84%, landing at 47,103.52. The S&P 500 slipped 0.44%; the Nasdaq Composite edged down just 0.06%. “With oil prices going up 50% in a matter of weeks — that’s a displacement this market hasn’t seen in years,” said Dennis Dick, founder and market structure analyst at Triple D Trading. https://www.reuters.com/business/wall-st-futures-slump-iran-war-drags-oil-near-120-stokes-inflation-worries-2026-03-09/
