The Brent Crude price was down 2.26% at $104.25 in late trading, but there is still great uncertainty about what course the conflict will take. “Crude is still around 50% higher than in mid-February before tensions with Iran seriously ratcheted up. This signals that scepticism still remains about Trump’s claims of progress, and worries persist about how extraction from the conflict is still set to be complex,” said Susannah Streeter, chief investment strategist at Wealth Club. “Even if the war ends in weeks, the damage wreaked to energy facilities in the region will take years to repair. Iran is also now flexing more control over the Strait of Hormuz, planning tolls on ships, so freight costs will rise even as it reopens.”
