  • Crude Oil Prices Surge on Fears of Prolonged Strait of Hormuz Closure
    May 12, 2026, 5:14 PM EDT. Crude oil prices surged sharply as concerns mount over the extended closure of the Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran. June WTI crude rose 4.19% and June RBOB gasoline gained 2.72%. President Trump's strong rhetoric against Iran and rejection of ceasefire proposals exacerbate fears of escalating conflict. The Strait of Hormuz, crucial for about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, remains closed, straining global supplies. Goldman Sachs estimates a 14.5 million barrels per day (bpd) production cut in the Persian Gulf and nearly 500 million barrels drawn from stockpiles. Despite OPEC+ plans to raise output, Middle Eastern producers are forced to cut due to the conflict. The International Energy Agency highlighted damage to over 80 energy facilities, projecting a recovery of up to two years.
