Oil’s $100 nightmare is back as worst-case scenario is taking shape
What the source reported
Source-reportedHouthi attacks on Saudi energy facilities have disrupted oil operations. These strikes also pressure the Bab al-Mandeb chokepoint, impacting oil flows. The Strait of Hormuz remains impaired, creating a dual threat to global supply. This situation makes significantly lower oil prices before late 2026 increasingly unlikely. Oil prices may potentially slip back into above-$100 territory.
