Oil jumps 7 percent after Trump’s warning, markets panic

Amid the Iran war, oil prices surged sharply after US President Donald Trump signalled continued attacks on Iran, raising fears of prolonged disruptions to global supply. Brent crude jumped above $108 per barrel while WTI climbed past $107 as markets reacted to escalating tensions. The surge comes amid rising risks around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route handling a significant share of global oil flows. Reports of tanker attacks and growing maritime threats have further pushed traders to price in worst-case supply disruptions.
