  • Oil Jumps as Strait of Hormuz Risks Ratchet Up; Brent Nears $85
    July 14, 2026, 2:27 AM EDT. Oil jumped close to 3%, hitting a one-month high after the U.S. brought back a naval blockade on Iran and both sides stepped up attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, a major transit point for global energy. Brent touched $84.80 a barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate climbed to $79.84. The moves, along with missile strikes on UAE tankers, pushed tanker traffic to a two-month low and fueled worries about supply cuts. Some analysts are saying a longer blockage could send prices even higher. Houthis in Yemen are also launching missile attacks, creating more risk for crude shipments from the region.
