  • Global Oil Prices Surge Amid Middle East Ceasefire Uncertainty and Strait of Hormuz Disruptions
    April 14, 2026, 4:46 AM EDT. Oil markets faced sharp volatility in April 2026 after a brief two-week ceasefire in the Middle East failed to assure sustained peace or a return to normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit chokepoint. Physical crude prices hit near-record highs above $150 per barrel, far outpacing futures contracts, while refined fuel costs in Singapore soared past $290 per barrel. Shipments through the strait remain severely restricted at 3.8 million barrels per day (mb/d), down from over 20 mb/d pre-crisis. Alternative export routes partially offset losses, but total supply shortfalls exceed 13 mb/d, with cumulative production cuts over 440 million barrels projected for April. Consumers and refiners have drawn on oil inventories, which dropped globally by 85 million barrels in March, especially in Asia. Persisting supply constraints have forced demand curtailments, especially in Asian petrochemical sectors and aviation.
