Oil Surges 3.5% at One Time on Report That Israel Is Preparing to Strike Iran

Reuters05-21

Oil jumped after CNN reported that US intelligence suggests Israel is making preparations to possibly strike Iranian nuclear facilities.

West Texas Intermediate futures surged as much as 3.5% to $64.19 a barrel. It isn’t clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision to carry out the strikes, CNN said, citing unnamed officials.

Oil prices have been volatile since last week on mixed headlines about the fate of Iran-US talks, which could pave the way for more barrels to return to a market that’s expected to be oversupplied later in the year. An attack by Israel would hinder any progress in those negotiations and add to volatility in the Middle East, which supplies about a third of the world’s oil.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Tuesday said he didn’t think the latest effort to negotiate with the US would lead to a result. WTI prices could tumble as low as $40 a barrel if sanctions on the Islamic Republic’s oil exports are lifted, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
