Crude oil prices surged to near $100 per barrel for WTI and $105-113 for Brent in late April 2026, posting the largest monthly gain in March amid severe Middle East supply shocks, including Strait of Hormuz disruptions and escalating tensions linked to Iran. These developments, compounded by sanctions boosting U.S. exports to Europe, have tightened global supply despite OPEC+ output hikes totaling nearly 10 million barrels per day recently. However, prices remain well below the 2008 all-time highs of $147 for both benchmarks. EIA forecasts a Q2 peak around $115 before easing on inventory builds and softer demand growth; the OPEC+ May meeting looms as a key catalyst for further production adjustments.
