13 April 2026 (Monday) morning session, international oil prices surged sharply, with both major benchmark crude oil prices breaking through $100 per barrel. As of 09:23 Beijing time, the specific market quotes are as follows:

- WTI crude oil: $104.42 per barrel, up 8.13% ;
​
- Brent crude oil: $102.36 per barrel, up 7.52% .

📈 Cause of the rise

- Geopolitical risk escalation: Over the weekend, talks between the US and Iran ended without result, and the US introduced new restrictive measures, causing market concerns that tensions in the Middle East will affect oil supply and shipping lane security.
​
- Risk aversion sentiment heats up: The Middle East is a core global oil-producing region, and instability directly pushes up risk premiums, leading to a high opening in oil prices.

💡 Follow-up focus points

- Developments in US-Iran relations and subsequent negotiation dynamics, which are key variables in determining short-term oil price trends;
​
- The impact of exchange inventory, OPEC+ supply policy changes, and US dollar trends on oil prices.
