## Prediction

Within the next 24 hours, Brent Crude is likely to trade $5–10 per barrel above pre-strike levels as markets price in a non-trivial probability of further disruption around Hormuz and in Iran’s Khuzestan fields. While physical flows may continue, traders will hedge against tail risks of tanker attacks, mine incidents, or deeper damage to Iranian production infrastructure. This repricing will spill into refined products (gasoil, jet) and support safe-haven flows into gold and US Treasuries, while pressuring energy-importing currencies such as the Indian rupee and Turkish lira. Confirmation would be sustained intraday spikes in front-month Brent and Dubai spreads over dated Brent; denial would be a rapid retracement to pre-escalation prices following clear de-escalatory signals from Washington and Tehran.

## Drivers

- Multi-wave US strikes on Hormuz-area defenses and reported hit on Ahvaz oilfield
- Iranian missile strikes on US bases increasing probability of further escalation
- Explicit warnings about heightened tanker and insurance risk near Hormuz
- Historical sensitivity of crude benchmarks to Gulf conflict shocks
