Oil prices brace for a volatile week after Iran strikes: Hormuz disruption and OPEC+ output move in focus
OPEC+ agreed to raise oil output by 206,000 barrels per day as tanker operators paused or rerouted shipments after Iran warned the Strait of Hormuz was closed. Major Japanese shipping lines halted transits in the area. Oil markets are closed until Monday, when traders expect sharp price moves. No confirmed damage to infrastructure, but tanker rates have surged.
