Brent crude oil futures rallied over 6% to $73.7 per barrel on Friday, paring some gains after hitting their highest level since February, as fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East intensified following Israel’s strike on Iran. While the attacks did not directly target oil infrastructure, investors remain wary of potential retaliation, especially given Iran’s strategic control near the Strait of Hormuz—a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. Iran's April crude output stood at 3.305 million barrels per day, underscoring the region’s vital role in global energy supply. Adding to the bullish sentiment, data from the International Energy Agency showed a larger-than-expected drop in U.S. crude inventories last week, suggesting firm demand. Despite mounting geopolitical tensions, the IEA reassured markets that it holds 1.2 billion barrels of emergency reserves and stands ready to intervene if necessary.
