Iran-krigen strammer løkken om verdensøkonomien, advarer analytiker

To dage efter at oliepriserne skød i vejret forbi 90 dollar per tønde midt i Iran-krigen, advarer råvareanalytikeren Christian Kopfer om forestående rationering og kaos i forsyningskæderne, da lagerbeholdningerne svinder. Svenske forbrugere står allerede over for benzin til 16 kroner per liter, med værre tider i vente uden løsning i Hormuzstrædet.

Efter den dramatiske stigning i oliepriserne rapporteret tidligere på ugen – WTI-futures op 36 % til 91,20 dollar per tønde, den største ugentlige stigning nogensinde – fortsætter Iran-krigen med at true globale forsyningskæder.  nnI Sverige er benzinpriserne hoppet ca. 70 øre op til omkring 16 kroner per liter. Ved 100 dollar per tønde kunne priserne ramme 17–18 kroner; ved 150 dollar ville stigningen være endnu stejlere, som advaret af Qatars energiminister.  nnHandelsbankens råvareanalytiker Christian Kopfer understreger, at høje priser alene er håndterbare. 'Verdensøkonomien kan klare 90–100 dollar per tønde. Men ikke mangler. Rationering og forstyrrelser i forsyningskæderne – det er den ægte økonomiske trussel,' siger han.  nnSveriges eksporttunge økonomi afhænger af olieafhængige forsyningskæder. Stigende priser dæmper også udsigterne til nærstående rentenedsættelser og holder boliglånsrenterne høje. Globalt nærmer det daglige forbrug sig 100 millioner tønder, mens produktionen halter ved ca. 80 millioner, hvilket tømmer lagerbeholdningerne.  nnKopfer sammenligner situationen med 'en løkke, der strammes om verdensøkonomien.' Stoppede transporter i Hormuzstrædet – gennem hvilket en femtedel af verdens olie strømmer – forværrer risiciene. 'Det eskalerer i både varighed og omfang,' bemærker han.  nnAt løse Hormuz-flaskehalsen er afgørende for at afvende en krise. 'Rationering af olie ender ikke godt,' advarer Kopfer.

Oil prices surge above $100 amid Middle East war disruptions

Rapporteret af AI Billede genereret af AI

Oil prices rocketed above $100 per barrel on Monday, driven by fears of prolonged supply disruptions from the escalating Iran war in the Middle East. The conflict, including strikes in Beirut and threats against Iran's leadership, has heightened risks to the Strait of Hormuz. This surge marks the biggest jump since 2020, fueling concerns over global fuel prices and inflation.

Oil prices have surged past $90 a barrel a week after the US and Israel launched major attacks on Iran, escalating into a Middle East war. The conflict has stranded oil shipments in the Persian Gulf and damaged key facilities, disrupting supplies. Consumers globally face higher gasoline and diesel costs as a result.

On the fifth day of the war in Iran, Tehran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has driven up oil and gas prices, affecting the global economy. European gas prices rose from 32 to 49 euros per MWh, while Brent crude climbed from 72 to 82 dollars per barrel. Europe, vulnerable due to its reliance on imports, faces heightened risks if the conflict drags on.

Escalation of conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel has led Iran to order the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, halting tanker traffic and driving global oil prices above US$80 per barrel. The effects extend to Europe, which is now reconsidering plans to end Russian gas imports, while Indonesia pushes for de-escalation via the D-8 organization and assures stable fuel supplies.

As the US-Israel-Iran conflict escalates following February 28 strikes and weekend retaliation—including the reported death of Ayatollah Khamenei—the Strait of Hormuz has closed, pushing oil prices to new highs and intensifying market volatility. Updated casualties exceed 740, while analysts predict inflation spikes and delayed rate cuts. Mexico sees sharp peso depreciation and stock plunges.

Oil prices recorded their largest daily gain since October, driven by concerns over a potential new conflict between the United States and Iran. Brent crude surpassed US$71 per barrel after a 4.3% rise, while West Texas Intermediate traded above US$66. Analysts warn that the US military buildup in the region could close the window for a diplomatic agreement.

One day after US and Israeli attacks on Iran ignited oil price fears, the confirmed death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Tehran's retaliatory strikes have driven prices up as much as 13%—the largest jump in four years—amid fears of Strait of Hormuz disruptions, which carry 20% of global crude. OPEC+ ramps up output, while Mexico's peso weakens against the dollar.
