Crude Oil Prices Surge on Global Supply Risks

November WTI crude oil (CLX26) closed up +2.25 (+2.22%) on Monday, and November RBOB gasoline (RBX26) closed down -0.440 (-1.36%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices settled mixed on Monday, with crude oil climbing to a 5-week high. Crude prices surged Monday amid escalating hostilities in the Middle East and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war that are disrupting global energy supplies. Crude prices raced to their high on Monday afternoon on concern about escalation of hostilities in the Middle East after Iran said it has “no choice” but to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz and that “the strait belongs to Iran, and the US is now the cause of the current situation and must pay the price.”
