With the traffic through the Strait of Hormuz still effectively closed or severely restricted at a minimum, crude oil prices are expected to continue to rise. According to AXIOS yesterday, President Trump said a US Naval blockade of Iran will continue until a deal addressing nuclear concerns is made. Following this announcement crude prices rose significantly, with the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures rising roughly 7% (https://www.barchart.com/story/news/1598020/crude-prices-surge-with-no-end-in-sight-to-us-iran-war).
