Iran-Krieg Woche 2: Öl erreicht 120 $, SA-Kraftstoffpreise nahe Rekordhochs

Da der US-israelische Krieg mit dem Iran in seine zweite Woche eintritt, sind die Ölpreise inmitten von Blockaden der Straße von Hormus auf 104–120 $ pro Barrel gestiegen, was die Ängste vor Inflation und steigenden Kraftstoffkosten in Südafrika verschärft. Bei einem Rand von R16,90/$ prognostizieren Analysten Benzinpreise über R23/Liter und mögliche Zinserhöhungen der SARB.

Aufbauend auf den Anfangsschlägen der vergangenen Woche, die den iranischen Obersten Führer Ali Khamenei töteten und die Straße von Hormus schlossen, hat der Konflikt nun mehr als eine Woche lang 20 % des globalen Öls gestört. Brent-Rohöl schloss bei 104 $/Barrel nach einem Höchststand nahe 120 $, mit einem 30%igen Tagesgewinn – dem größten seit fast fünf Jahren –, was an die Russland-Iran-Spannungen 2022 erinnert. Brent crude settled at $104/barrel after peaking near $120, with a 30% one-day gain—the largest in nearly five years—echoing 2022 Russia-Iran tensions. South Africa's rand has weakened to R16.90/$ from R15.90 pre-conflict, driving unleaded 93 petrol estimates over R3/litre higher to R23.30—nearing the 2022 record of R26.31. Investec's Annabel Bishop warns sustained oil above $110 and rand below R16.80 could lift Q2 2026 CPI above 4%, prompting rate hikes from the current 6.75% repo rate (Jan CPI: 3.5%). SARB is revising scenarios ahead of its March 26 MPC meeting, with Governor Lesetja Kganyago assessing shock persistence. Broader impacts include agriculture: 80% of SA's 2M-ton fertilizer imports face delays, per Wandile Sihlobo, reminiscent of Russia-Ukraine effects. Motor industry warns of passed-on costs to consumers. G7 ministers are eyeing 200-300M barrel SPR releases via IEA.
