Hormuz Crisis Drives Oil Prices to $112 Per Barrel

Brent crude oil prices rose to $112.69 per barrel on Monday due to the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis.

On Monday, Brent crude oil prices rose to $112.69 per barrel. US crude oil also climbed to $103.74 per barrel. The oil price increase is because the Strait of Hormuz has not fully reopened. This strait is extremely important, as much of the world's oil is transported through here. ExxonMobil's CEO stated that the market has not yet felt the full impact. The United States' energy prices have risen more than 12 percent this year.
