## Prediction

Over the next 7 days, Brent crude is likely to trade in a wide $90–$105 range as traders balance the risk of further strikes on Iranian infrastructure or a port blockade against the prospect of a U.S.-brokered Iran deal. Volatility will spike on any reports of new attacks near export terminals or shipping incidents in the Gulf, while diplomatic headlines will provoke sharp reversals. Refiners and airlines will adjust hedging strategies to cope with the broad but elevated band, with some passing costs to consumers. This projection would be invalidated by an actual closure of Hormuz or concrete, verifiable de-escalation guarantees around Iranian exports.

## Drivers

- Current Brent spike toward $96 on Kharg strike and blockade rhetoric
- Ongoing Israel–Iran kinetic exchange with direct hits on oil-related sites
- Emerging U.S.–Iran negotiation framework under coercive pressure
