Crude Oil (WTI): Tension in the Persian Gulf Boosts the Market


Sea oil supplies in the Persian Gulf region are decreasing — and this is already creating a short-term supply shortage. Against this backdrop, futures for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) are gaining strong momentum, and experts do not rule out movement into the $80–100 per barrel zone in the coming days.
📈 What's next? Key scenarios:
1️⃣ Base case (escalation persists) – Breakout $80 opens the way to $88–92– The psychological level $100 becomes a realistic target– In case of panic, impulsive spikes above are possible
2️⃣ Aggressive scenario (supply disruptions intensify) – Rapid move to $100+ – Increased volatility and hedging spikes – Activation of speculative capital
📊 Metals also react:
🟡 Gold– Key support: $2 000–2 050– If geopolitical risks intensify, a move to new highs is possible
⚪ Silver– Strong technical level: $25– Breakout opens potential to $28–30
🔵 Industrial metals (copper, aluminum) may get a second impulse if inflation expectations start rising along with oil.
💡 What’s important to understand: If WTI stays above $85–90, it could trigger a new medium-term trend. But if tensions ease — the market will quickly return to demand/supply balance.
🎁 Do you think we will see $100 this month? And which assets will benefit the most — oil, gold, or industrial metals?
