EON Resources (EONR) and Trio Petroleum (TPET) each added around 3%, while Indonesia Energy (INDO) advanced more than 1%.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Oil Heads For Biggest Monthly Gain Since 1990</h2>Brent crude climbed toward $105 per barrel after falling more than 2% on Wednesday, while West Texas Intermediate traded near $93, as Tehran rejected U.S. diplomatic overtures and instead pushed conditions including sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s parliament is also reportedly preparing legislation that would charge security transit fees for vessels passing through the waterway.The global benchmark is now on track for its largest monthly gain since 1990, as the near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz has removed millions of barrels per day from global supply and sent product prices from diesel to jet fuel sharply higher.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Hormuz Risks Deepen Despite Diplomatic Signals</h2>U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. remains in talks with Tehran and hopes to end the conflict “in the coming weeks,” even as Iran rejected proposals and continued setting conditions tied to control of the waterway.The Pentagon has reportedly ordered the deployment of two Marine Expeditionary Units, totaling roughly 5,000 troops, along with additional personnel from the 82nd Airborne Division.Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump “does not bluff and he is prepared to unleash hell,” while traders also monitored a separate escalation risk after a drone targeted a Turkish tanker carrying Urals crude near Istanbul.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Iran Pushes Transit Fees Amid Strike Risk</h2>MUFG said, “While the U.S. continues to push for negotiations, Iran has rejected proposals and is considering imposing transit fees on vessels,” reinforcing Tehran’s grip over the critical shipping route.Deutsche Bank said the market’s attention is increasingly turning toward the end of Trump’s five-day postponement of potential strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure this weekend, warning that expectations for near-term de-escalation may be premature. The bank said a “big” factor behind the latest price rebound is Iran’s continued rejection of U.S. messages about progress toward a ceasefire.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Barclays Flags Historic Oil Supply Risk</h2>Barclays said a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could remove 13 million to 14 million barrels per day from global supply, calling the disruption the largest geopolitical shock to energy markets since the 1990 Gulf War, Reuters&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/barclays-sees-1314-million-bpd-oil-supply-loss-prolonged-hormuz-disruption-2026-03-26/">reported</a>.The bank said supply elasticity is structurally weaker than during past shocks, with OPEC+ spare capacity under-delivering and non-OPEC production growth steadily decelerating after years of under-investment, increasing the market’s sensitivity to disruption.The International Energy Agency estimates global oil demand this year at roughly 104-105 million barrels per day, underscoring the scale of the imbalance if flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain constrained.Barclays said traffic through the Strait could normalize by early April in its base-case scenario, consistent with Brent averaging around $85 per barrel in 2026, but warned that disruptions lasting into late spring could push prices toward $110.How Did Stocktwits Users React?On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ for USO, INDO, TPET and EONR, with message volume ‘normal’ for USO, ‘extremely low’ for INDO and TPET, and ‘low’ for EONR, while BATL saw ‘neutral’ sentiment amid ‘low’ message volume.Over the past year, USO has gained 52%, INDO is up 35%, BATL has surged over 300%, and EONR has risen 71%, while TPET is down 41%.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/lunr-rklb-asts-slip-after-nasa-moon-rally-retail-traders-focus/cZ3rplKRIjF">LUNR, RKLB, ASTS Slip Premarket After NASA-Fueled Rally — What Retail Traders Are Watching Now</a>

The proposal was reportedly delivered through Pakistan.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Hormuz Tensions Persist Despite Talks</h2>The diplomatic push came even as the Trump administration deployed about 2,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division while weighing options to ease Iran’s hold over the Strait of Hormuz. Oil later pared losses after Tehran launched fresh missile strikes on Israel and said prices would not return to earlier levels until threats against the country were removed.Trump’s stance has shifted rapidly in recent days, first threatening strikes if the strait was not reopened within 48 hours before extending the timeline by five days to allow talks. He also said Iran had offered a “present” tied to energy flows through the strait, while the White House pointed to a “newfound possibility of diplomacy” even as military operations continued.Iran told the International Maritime Organization that “non-hostile” vessels could still transit the waterway under its rules, even as Israel continued strikes across Tehran and China urged Iran to engage in negotiations with the United States “as soon as possible.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts Say War Premium Still Ebbing And Flowing</h2>Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/2036711794618532013">said on X</a> that the war risk premium “continues to ebb and flow,” but warned underlying tightness across commodities is increasing as earlier tanker shipments complete deliveries.Erste Group said the broader economic shock from the conflict could last longer than initially expected but remain manageable if shipping through Hormuz resumes soon, adding they expect transit through the strait to normalize “in the coming weeks.”On the other hand, Saxo Bank said markets may stabilize even before the conflict formally ends. “Wars rarely need to end before markets bottom,” the bank said. “Investors tend to move as soon as the probability of further escalation starts to fall.”Macquarie said expectations of a near-term ceasefire may be premature, noting the demands of both sides “seem unbridgeable” and prediction markets suggest a ceasefire may not come before late April.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, sentiment for USO, TPET, BATL and EONR remained ‘bearish’, with message volume ‘high’ for USO, ‘extremely low’ for TPET and BATL, and ‘normal’ for EONR.Over the past year, BATL has surged over 600%, EONR has gained 74% and USO has risen 53%, while TPET has declined 37%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/arm-stock-premarket-analyst-says-meta-capex-could-boost-revenue/cZ3YSpWRIST">ARM Stock Jumps Premarket: Analyst Says Tapping Even A Sliver Of Meta’s Capex Could Be A ‘Top-Line Changer’</a>

USO, BATL, TPET, EONR Slide Premarket: Analysts Say The Oil ‘War Premium’ Is Fading Amid Iran Diplomacy

Analysts said the war risk premium is still ebbing and flowing, with some expecting stabilization if escalation risks ease.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Oil stocks rose premarket as Brent held above $102 and traders reassessed escalation risks tied to ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.</li><li>Brent has surged about 40% this month as Gulf transit disruptions forced output cuts and raised fears of a widening global energy crunch.</li><li>Analysts said energy markets are tightening at a record pace, warning refined-product markets show the clearest signs of stress.</li></ul>Major oil stocks and index funds traded mixed in premarket trading on Tuesday as crude rebounded after Monday’s sharp selloff, with investors continuing to weigh escalation risks in the Middle East and persistent disruptions to flows through the Strait of Hormuz.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Small-Cap Oil Stocks Jump As Brent Holds Above $102</h2>The United States Oil Fund (USO) rose over 1% and Indonesia Energy (INDO) added nearly 1% in premarket trading on Tuesday, while Battalion Oil (BATL) dropped nearly 6%, EON Resources (EONR) fell about 3%, and Trio Petroleum (TPET) slipped over 1%.Brent crude traded above $102 per barrel, while U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate rose about 3%, recovering part of Monday’s roughly 11% decline after U.S. President Donald Trump delayed and threatened strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure by five days, citing possible negotiations with Tehran. Iran denied talks were underway even as Israel continued attacks.Large-cap energy companies such as Chevron (CVX) and Halliburton (HAL) saw more muted moves as investors instead focused on smaller exploration-linked stocks that tend to react more sharply to short-term crude price swings and geopolitical risk.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fuel Supply Risks Spread Beyond Middle East</h2>Brent has surged about 40% this month as hostilities involving the United States, Israel and Iran disrupted transit through the Strait of Hormuz, forcing Persian Gulf producers to cut millions of barrels of daily output and raising concerns about a widening global energy crunch.Chile is preparing fuel price increases, Japan ordered a review of its oil-product supply chain, Thailand raised diesel prices, China’s largest refiner prioritized domestic supply, and the Philippines warned that grounding aircraft due to jet-fuel shortages was a “distinct possibility.”Regional tensions also intensified after reports that U.S. allies in the Gulf were moving closer to joining military operations. Saudi Arabia told Washington it was prepared to strike Iran if its infrastructure were targeted, while the Wall Street Journal&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/iran-gulf-states-offense-decision-b8d98ff9">reported</a> that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was nearing a decision on whether to participate in attacks aimed at restoring deterrence.&nbsp;Iranian Deputy Speaker Ali Nikzad said the Strait of Hormuz would not return to normal conditions and ruled out negotiations with the United States, while gas facilities in Isfahan were struck in the latest escalation.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Saxo: Hormuz Disruption Driving Market Repricing</h2>Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/2036349803064406070">said on X</a> that crude rebounded after Monday’s slump as traders reassessed escalation risks tied to continued Hormuz disruption.“Global energy markets are tightening at a record pace amid the continued disruption to flows through the Strait of Hormuz,” Hansen said, adding that reports Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates could join the conflict point to further escalation risk. He said the clearest signal of stress currently lies in refined-product markets rather than crude itself.“Crude’s relative resilience may come under increasing pressure as the initial buffer of elevated oil-on-water inventories continues to erode.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">War Premium Keeps Oil Above $100 Outlook</h2>Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said rising fuel prices across the U.S. reflect tightening supply conditions linked to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.“Gas prices continued to rise nationwide over the last week as seasonal factors, combined with ongoing supply concerns tied to the continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, pushed both gasoline and diesel prices sharply higher,” De Haan said. He added that the national average gasoline price could soon cross a key psychological threshold.Goldman Sachs said Monday’s selloff reflected a partial reassessment of disruption risk. “The market reaction likely reflects some retreat in the perceived risks of lengthy disruptions and of damage to energy assets,” the bank said.Despite the temporary pause in strike threats, analysts said the war premium remains embedded in crude markets. ANZ Research said supply losses have already tightened the global oil balance for the year.Oil prices are expected to remain above $100 per barrel in the near term, the firm said, adding that even if tensions ease, crude is unlikely to return to the $60-$70 range seen previously. ANZ expects oil to average above $90 per barrel in 2026 as disruptions continue reshaping the global supply outlook.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward USO was ‘bearish’ amid ‘high’ message volume, while INDO, TPET and BATL also saw ‘bearish’ sentiment amid ‘extremely low’ to ‘low’ message volume. Sentiment for EONR remained ‘neutral’ despite ‘high’ message volume.Over the past year, BATL has surged by over 700%, while USO rose by about 50%, EONR gained roughly 49%, and INDO advanced by around 37%. In contrast, TPET declined about 38% over the same period.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

USO, INDO Rise Premarket In Choppy Trade As Hormuz Disruptions Persist: Analyst Says War Premium Keeping Oil Above $100

Small-cap explorers, including TPET, EONR, BATL and INDO outperformed large-cap energy names amid geopolitical supply concerns.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>TPET jumped 15%, EONR gained 13%, USO rose 4%, while BATL and INDO each added 3% in premarket trading on Monday.</li><li>Brent has surged over 50% since the escalation of the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran in late February.</li><li>Analysts warned that floating storage buffers are shrinking and Hormuz disruptions could push prices higher still.</li></ul>Major oil stocks and index funds climbed in premarket trading on Monday as crude held near three-year highs after U.S. President Donald Trump gave Iran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on power infrastructure, raising fears of deeper supply disruptions.Shares of Trio Petroleum (TPET) rose 15%, followed by EON Resources (EONR), which jumped 13%. The United States Oil Fund (USO) gained 4%, while Battalion Oil (BATL) and Indonesia Energy (INDO) each rose 3%.Brent crude traded above $113 per barrel, extending gains for a fifth straight session, while West Texas Intermediate hovered near $100.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Brent Surges Over 50% Since Iran Conflict Escalation</h2>Crude strengthened after Trump warned Iran to “fully open” the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face strikes on power infrastructure, while Tehran said it would target key regional assets if attacks proceed.The conflict has now entered its 24th day, already lasting twice as long as a similar crisis last year involving the same parties. Since U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran began in late February, Brent has surged more than 50%.Investors are also navigating mixed policy signals after Trump, shortly before issuing the ultimatum, said he was considering “winding down” U.S. military efforts, adding to uncertainty about the conflict's trajectory.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts See Prolonged Gulf Supply Disruptions Ahead</h2>Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/2035983329137160546">said on X</a> that refined-product markets continue to highlight tightening supply conditions even as crude initially remained supported by floating storage accumulated earlier in the conflict. He added that the early supply buffer from oil stranded at sea “is now being steadily eroded.”Meanwhile, UBS said on Friday that uncertainty around reopening the Strait of Hormuz continues to signal expectations for prolonged supply disruptions from the Gulf region.The brokerage warned that even rerouting the pipeline may not fully offset the impact due to limited storage capacity, while tanker escorts through the Strait of Hormuz remain uncertain despite efforts by the U.S. and its allies. UBS said a planned 400-million-barrel strategic reserve release by OECD countries would likely offset only part of the disruption, especially as refinery output cuts in the Middle East begin affecting markets in Asia and Europe.UBS expects Brent to climb well above its $90 per barrel end of June forecast in the near term if supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz persist and scarcity fears intensify.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Hormuz Deadline: ‘Ticking Time Bomb’</h2>Barclays said threats targeting energy infrastructure highlight the risks of compounding the effects of supply disruptions across the region. “Reluctant diplomacy and the potential for ground troops could exacerbate the situation.”&nbsp;Meanwhile, IG Australia said Trump’s ultimatum has placed a “48-hour ticking time bomb of elevated uncertainty” over global markets. The firm added that strikes on Iran’s power grid could disrupt export terminals, pumping stations, and refinery operations, potentially making any blockade economically and politically unsustainable for Tehran.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for USO, INDO, TPET, and BATL remained ‘bearish’, with message volume ranging from ‘normal’ to ‘extremely low’. In contrast, sentiment for EONR was ‘bullish’ amid ‘high’ message volume.Over the past year, BATL has surged over 1,000%, while EONR, USO, and INDO gained 66%, 65%, and 47%, respectively. In contrast, TPET declined 27% over the same period.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

USO, TPET, EONR, INDO Jump Premarket: Analysts Call Trump's Hormuz Deadline A 'Ticking Time Bomb' For Oil Supply

Brent crude topped $113 as Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>EONR led losses, down 6%, followed by BATL at 3%, while USO and TPET slipped 0.5%; INDO was the only gainer, rising 0.5%.</li><li>Brent crude eased toward $107, and WTI traded near $94, retreating from recent highs after signals of restraint from the U.S. and Israel and potential Iranian supply relief.</li><li>Analysts and economists said supply risks remain despite the pullback, with inflation pressures and rising recession concerns still in focus.</li></ul>Oil stocks fell in premarket trading on Friday as crude prices pulled back on easing Middle East tensions and potential supply relief, with JPMorgan warning that sustained high prices could still hit demand and earnings.Shares of&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EONR">EON Resources (EONR)</a> fell 6%, followed by&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BATL">Battalion Oil (BATL)</a>, which is down 3%.

The bank said if crude holds near $110, S&amp;P 500 earnings estimates could fall by 2% to 5%, adding that investors are assigning “a low probability” to a demand hit by assuming a quick resolution and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Investing&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/jpmorgan-cuts-sp-500-target-flags-oil-shock-and-complacency-5298616">noted</a>.The warning comes as crude oil pulled back after U.S. and Israeli leaders signaled restraint following attacks on energy infrastructure. U.S. President Donald Trump said he is “not putting troops anywhere,” while Israel indicated it would refrain from further strikes on Iranian energy assets. European nations, Japan and Canada also signaled efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.Oil faced additional pressure after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. could lift sanctions on Iranian oil already at sea, raising prospects of added supply.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts Warn Supply Shock Still In Play</h2>Analysts said the decline in crude does little to resolve underlying tightness. Saxo Bank’s Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/2034881993066823806">warned on X</a> that “only a ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz are likely to prevent another tight supply-driven rally.” Hansen also said policy signals, including confirmation the U.S. is not considering an export ban, have helped narrow the WTI-Brent discount, though prices remain highly sensitive to developments around Hormuz.Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs said attacks on energy assets pose “significant risks for not just near-term oil exports from the region, but longer-term oil production capacity.”Swissquote strategist Ipek Ozkardeskaya said rising energy prices are pushing inflation higher while weighing on growth, adding that rate hikes are “only partially effective” in addressing supply-driven shocks.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Economists Flag Rising Recession Risks From Oil</h2>Economists echoed similar concerns on the macro outlook.

Energy Stocks Slide Premarket As Oil Retreats From Highs — JPMorgan Warns $110 Oil Could Slam S&P 500 Earnings

Oil stocks declined in premarket trading as crude prices pulled back on easing Middle East tensions and prospects of additional supply.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Brent crude jumped as much as 7% to above $115 a barrel, WTI hovered near $97, and European natural gas surged up to 35%.</li><li>Saudi Arabia warned of potential military retaliation after missile attacks, while Iran vowed further strikes on oil and gas infrastructure.</li><li>Markets point to rising volatility, with short interest in USO up sharply, even as analysts warn physical supply shortages are outpacing market pricing.</li></ul>Oil stocks surged in premarket trading on Thursday after crude prices spiked on fresh attacks targeting key Middle East energy infrastructure, deepening fears of a prolonged global supply shock.Shares of Battalion Oil (BATL) climbed 8%, Trio Petroleum (TPET) added 7%, while ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (BOIL), Indonesia Energy (INDO) and EON Resources (EONR) each rose 2%. In contrast, United States Oil Fund (USO) fell 2%.Brent crude jumped as much as 7% to top $115 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate traded near $97. European natural gas prices surged as much as 35%.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Oil Surges As Gulf Energy Sites Come Under Attack</h2>The oil rally follows a sharp escalation in the Middle East, with Iran targeting key energy facilities after earlier strikes on its South Pars gas field. Missile attacks hit a major LNG site in Qatar, causing “extensive damage,” while additional strikes impacted petrochemical assets in Iran and forced gas operations in Abu Dhabi to halt after debris from intercepted missiles fell on facilities.Saudi Arabia signaled potential military retaliation after being targeted by Iranian ballistic missiles, with Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan saying trust with Tehran has been shattered and that the kingdom “reserves the right to take military actions if deemed necessary.”Iran has vowed further strikes on oil and gas infrastructure across the Gulf, as the conflict disrupts shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and cuts regional output, pushing oil up about 50% since the war began and widening the Brent-WTI gap to around $17.<h2 class="st-heading-2">‘Acute Tightness’: Analysts Warn Of Supply Crunch</h2>Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/2034527173537673414">said on X</a> that the latest escalation has “direct implications for global energy supply,” highlighting “acute tightness” in the market.He added that West Texas Intermediate continues to trade below $100, with the discount to Brent widening to around $16.5, reflecting “regional dislocations” as well as rising speculation that the U.S. may consider measures such as an export ban or other interventions to curb domestic fuel prices.The impact is spreading across fuel markets, with natural gas prices in Europe and Asia extending gains after damage to LNG infrastructure. Patrick De Haan, petroleum analyst at GasBuddy,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/GasBuddyGuy/status/2034448630967411174">said on X</a> that diesel prices are rising at a pace exceeding previous cycles. “The current surge is now outpacing 2022 on a sustained basis,” he said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Bearish Bets Rise Despite Oil Rally</h2>Market positioning is also pointing to heightened volatility. The Kobeissi Letter&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2034356715806720396">said on X</a> that short interest in U.S. oil funds has surged even as prices rise, with bearish bets on the USO increasing about 50% over the past month.“This means traders are increasingly betting against rising oil prices, even as the rally continues,” the note said, warning it creates “a setup that often leads to extreme volatility.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Physical Oil Shortages Outpace Market Pricing</h2>Jeff Currie, chief strategy officer at Carlyle Energy Pathways, said current oil prices may not fully reflect real-world supply constraints. “The paper markets… they’ve entirely disconnected from the physical markets,” Currie said, noting crude delivered into Asia has traded between $130 and $170 per barrel.He called the situation a “molecular contagion,” with shortages spreading across global supply chains. “You can’t print molecules,” Currie said, emphasizing that financial tools cannot resolve physical supply disruptions. He added that the current supply shock is comparable to the demand shock seen during the pandemic.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward BOIL, USO, INDO, TPET, and BATL was ‘bearish’, with message volume ranging from ‘normal’ and ‘high’ to ‘low’.

BATL, TPET Stocks Surge Pre-Market, Oil Breaks $115 On Gulf Attacks: Analysts Flag Real Supply Shock As Shorts Pile In

At the same time, the U.S. intensified efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying it had struck Iranian anti-ship missile sites near the waterway.The moves come amid escalating tensions in the region following Iran’s confirmation of the death of Ali Larijani, the country’s security chief, which triggered threats of retaliation and added uncertainty to global energy markets. Meanwhile, Iraq’s output has fallen to about 1.4 million barrels per day, roughly a third of pre-disruption levels.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts See Oil Holding Above $100</h2>Despite the near-term pullback, analysts say the broader trend for oil prices remains firmly supported by geopolitical risks.

Even with mitigating measures such as alternative pipelines and strategic reserve releases, the bank warned that markets could still face a sizable supply gap if disruptions persist.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Rising Fuel Costs Add To Inflation Concerns</h2>Phillip Nova said crude markets are being driven by “headline-driven volatility, steep intraday fluctuations, and a foundation of disrupted supplies,” as well as bottlenecks across key export routes. The brokerage added that intermittent loading delays at Gulf terminals could further tighten near-term availability, keeping prices sensitive to geopolitical developments.The broader impact of higher energy prices is already feeding into inflation concerns.

Oil Stocks Slide Premarket After Iraq Bypasses Hormuz — But Analysts Say $100 Crude Is Here To Stay

Rising fuel costs, with U.S. diesel above $5 per gallon, are adding to inflation concerns ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting on Wednesday.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Brent rose past $103, and WTI neared $97 as attacks on infrastructure and Hormuz shipping bottlenecks tightened supply.</li><li>Analysts said higher oil prices reinforce a “higher for longer” Fed outlook, lifting inflation risks and delaying rate cuts.</li><li>Moody’s economist Mark Zandi warned rising oil could push recession odds higher, though Morningstar still sees limited long-term upside.</li></ul>Oil climbed back above $100, but most energy stocks traded lower before the bell on Tuesday, highlighting a mixed reaction across the sector as analysts flagged renewed risks to inflation and the Federal Reserve’s policy path.The move follows a rebound in crude prices after a brief pullback, with Brent climbing above $103 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate trading near $97 per barrel.Shares of Trio Petroleum (TPET) were down nearly 1%, Indonesia Energy (INDO) slipped 0.3%, and EON Resources (EONR) fell about 5%, while United States Oil Fund (USO) bucked the trend, jumping over 5%.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Oil Gains On Shipping Disruptions</h2>Oil rebounded in recent sessions as Iran continued attacks on energy infrastructure, with operations halted at the UAE’s Shah gas field, an Iraqi oil site hit, and crude loadings from Fujairah disrupted again. The conflict, now in its third week, has pushed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz close to a standstill, tightening global supply and impacting Asian demand.Brent climbed back above $103 after a brief drop, while WTI hovered near $97. The U.S. signaled it could expand strikes on Iranian oil assets, even as it continues to allow some crude flows through Hormuz. Meanwhile, the UAE and Kuwait have cut output, and Saudi Arabia is ramping up alternative export routes, underscoring the growing strain on supply chains.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Crude Rally Clouds Fed Rate Cut Outlook</h2>Analysts said the oil spike is feeding directly into the macro narrative around interest rates. Research firm StoneX said the surge in oil prices reinforces a “higher for longer” outlook for the Federal Reserve, adding that the longer the Strait of Hormuz stays technically hostile, the greater the chance that oil prices stay higher for longer, Dow Jones noted.He noted that such a scenario could delay rate cuts and keep the U.S. dollar supported as markets reassess the Fed’s policy trajectory.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Phillip Nova said oil holding near $100 per barrel is already feeding into inflation, pointing to U.S. diesel prices crossing $5 per gallon. “The burn from elevated oil prices is being felt,” she said, adding that even emergency reserve releases have failed to ease supply disruptions. The brokerage added that the war-driven risk premium in oil remains intact, with markets now focused on the duration of the conflict and the extent of damage to energy infrastructure.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Recession Warning Gets Louder</h2>Moody’s economist Mark Zandi&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Markzandi/status/2033597296563167659">warned on X</a> that the surge in oil prices could push the economy closer to a downturn. He said recession probability was already near 49% before the conflict and could rise further, noting that “every recession since WWII, save the pandemic recession, has been preceded by a spike in oil prices.”Zandi added that if oil remains elevated for weeks rather than months, “a recession will be difficult to avoid,” as higher energy costs hit consumers quickly.However, not all analysts see sustained upside. Morningstar maintained its $65 per barrel mid-cycle forecast for Brent, assigning a low probability of raising it from the possible destruction of Iran's oil infrastructure. However, the firm acknowledged that prolonged supply bottlenecks could trigger demand destruction and broader economic stress. It said U.S. shale producers, Canadian crude and refiners could benefit, while companies with Middle East exposure may face headwinds.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, sentiment was ‘bullish’ for USO amid ‘extremely high’ volume and INDO amid ‘low’ volume, while TPET saw ‘bearish’ sentiment amid ‘normal’ activity and BATL remained ‘bearish’ amid ‘low’ volume. EONR stood out with ‘extremely bullish’ sentiment amid ‘extremely high’ message volume.Over the past year, USO has risen 59%, INDO gained 61%, BATL surged over 1,200% and EONR climbed 200%, while TPET declined 8%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Crude Oil Rally Fails To Lift Energy Stocks: Analysts Warn Oil Spike Could Delay Rate Cuts, Lift Recession Odds

USO bucked the trend with gains in premarket trading even as most oil stocks slipped despite oil climbing above $100.

Brent crude futures jumped nearly 2% to $105.15 a barrel after settling $2.68 higher on Friday, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 1.6% to $100.32 a barrel after gaining nearly $3 in the previous session.The rally comes after U.S. strikes late last week on Iran’s key export hub at Kharg Island heightened fears of further supply disruptions heading into Monday’s trading, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route that carries about 20% of the world’s oil.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Hedge Funds Ramp Up Bullish Oil Bets</h2>Institutional positioning in crude has surged. The Kobeissi Letter&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2033240134116622472">said on X</a> that hedge fund long positions in Brent crude futures jumped 65,438 contracts to 351,032 in the week ending March 10, the highest level since February 2020.The Kobeissi Letter said long positioning has surged 966% since December, the largest increase in at least six years. Bullish bets on WTI crude have also climbed to an eight-month high, based on data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.Commodity trading advisors, or algorithm-driven funds, are now 100% long in both WTI and Brent, the Kobeissi Letter said. “This is the first time this has occurred in U.S. crude oil since September 2021, when the position lasted 26 trading sessions.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Goldman Sachs Flags Drop In Hormuz Oil Flows</h2>Goldman Sachs said oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have plunged as the conflict disrupts tanker traffic. The bank estimates flows have fallen to about 0.5 million barrels per day, down from roughly 19.5 million barrels per day normally moving through the waterway, according to an Investing.com&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://in.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/goldman-sachs-says-oil-flows-through-strait-of-hormuz-down-sharply-93CH-5290737">report</a>.&nbsp;After accounting for pipeline redirection, Goldman Sachs estimates that about 17.2 million barrels per day of Persian Gulf oil flows are currently disrupted. The bank also outlined several potential paths that could increase flows through the strait, including Iran allowing safe passage for certain shipments, a broader de-escalation of the conflict, or stronger naval protection for tankers.However, Goldman Sachs warned that risks to its base-case assumption of a gradual 30-day recovery beginning March 21 are skewed toward delays.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fuel Spending Surges Amid Oil Rally</h2>Patrick De Haan, petroleum analyst at GasBuddy,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/GasBuddyGuy/status/2033291928159097243">said on X</a> that the oil rally is already pushing up fuel costs. “Americans today will spend $300 million more on gasoline than they did 30 days ago.”&nbsp;The national average gasoline price stands at $3.68 per gallon,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/GasBuddyGuy/status/2033328046875312338">higher</a> than about 78% of days between January 2021 and January 2025, according to De Haan.
