[Escalating Conflict in the Strait of Hormuz Pushes Oil Prices to One-Month High] 1. International oil prices continued to rise in early Asian trading on Tuesday. Brent crude futures rose nearly 3% to $85.63 per barrel, while US crude futures rose 3.1% to $80.42 per barrel, both hitting near one-month highs. The previous trading day, Brent crude had already surged 9.5%, marking its largest single-day gain since May 2020. 2. Currently, oil prices are at their highest level since the US and Iran signed a peace memorandum of understanding on June 17. The US has reinstated its naval blockade against Iran, and the military confrontation between the two sides in the Strait of Hormuz continues to escalate, sharply increasing uncertainty about the energy supply outlook. 3. The UAE Ministry of Defense reported on Monday that two UAE oil tankers were attacked by Iranian cruise missiles in Oman's territorial waters in the southern channel of the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in the death of one Indian crew member and injuries to eight others. US President Trump stated that the US hopes to receive appropriate compensation for protecting shipping in the strait. 4. US Central Command launched airstrikes against Iran for the third consecutive night. Meanwhile, the Houthi rebels in Yemen launched missiles at Saudi Arabia after accusing it of bombing an airport under their control. Analysts warned that if the Houthis expand their attacks to include Red Sea oil shipping routes, it would further exacerbate uncertainty surrounding regional energy supplies. 5. Preliminary surveys indicate that the market expects a decline in U.S. crude oil inventories last week, while gasoline and distillate fuel inventories may have increased. Multiple geopolitical risks combined with expectations of inventory changes have jointly driven the recent upward trend in oil prices.
