Brent oil price jumps above $70 as Iran strike fears flare; traders eye OPEC+ and U.S. stocks

London, Jan 29, 2026, 11:59 GMT — Regular session Brent crude futures jumped more than 2% on Thursday and briefly traded above $70 a barrel, a four-month high, as investors weighed the risk of a U.S. military strike on Iran, OPEC’s fourth-largest producer at about 3.2 million barrels per day. Brent was up $1.39, or 2.03%, at $69.79 by 1011 GMT after touching $70.35; U.S. West Texas Intermediate rose $1.37 to $64.58. The immediate fear is Iran could “close the Strait of Hormuz” — a route for about 20 million barrels per day of oil — PVM analyst John Evans said, while DBS Bank’s Suvro Sarkar called the geopolitical risk premium the “main driver.”
