In a late-night White House address, he said the U.S. would hit Iran “extremely hard” over the next two to three weeks and added the Strait of Hormuz would reopen “naturally” once the war ends, without giving a timeline.&nbsp;Crude had eased earlier this week on hopes of a near-term resolution, but the latest remarks revived concerns about prolonged hostilities and possible strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, even as Trump said the conflict was “very close” to completion.The effective closure of Hormuz continues to restrict flows of crude, gas and refined fuels, keeping Brent more than 40% above pre-war levels and sustaining inflation worries. Trump also warned the U.S. could “blow up Iranian infrastructure, including power plants,” if transit through the strait is not restored.Meanwhile, the UAE has joined calls for the UN to authorize action to reopen the route, while China and Pakistan urged safeguards for shipping. Iran said it would not reopen the waterway under pressure, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying Tehran and Oman would decide its future. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also dismissed Washington’s stance as “absurd displays.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts See Path Toward $110 Oil</h2>Analysts said the latest escalation signals reinforce near-term upside risks for crude, even if shipping disruptions eventually ease. Trump’s threat is “injecting fresh uncertainty into energy markets,” two members of ING Group’s commodities strategy team said in a note.

Trump said the U.S. could leave responsibility for reopening the chokepoint to other countries.Meanwhile, the UAE has urged the U.S. and military in Europe and Asia to form a coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force and is prepared to support such an operation, according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/uae-iran-war-strait-of-hormuz-9836ecbb">report</a> by The Wall Street Journal.

However, the firm noted that the process could take weeks to several months.IG said any de-escalation is unlikely to quickly restore flows through Hormuz, which keeps the market tight and limits downside in crude.Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at Phillip Nova, said markets are already shifting from panic-driven buying toward more tactical positioning. “The market has already priced in major geopolitical risks,” she said, adding that further upside now depends on actual supply losses rather than threats alone.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Retail Traders Feel About Energy Stocks?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around oil was mostly negative, with USO, TPET and EONR showing ‘bearish’ sentiment amid ‘normal’ to ‘low’ message volume, while INDO registered ‘extremely bearish’ sentiment alongside ‘extremely low’ activity.

The Strait typically carries roughly one-fifth of global oil flows, and traffic slowed sharply after Iran mined the waterway and threatened tankers.Meanwhile, the USS Tripoli, the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and elements of the 82nd Airborne Division have entered the region, with officials also apparently considering deploying up to 10,000 additional troops and a possible operation to secure Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Oil War Premium Starts To Fade</h2>Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management, said “the U.S. stepping back from physically reopening the artery means the market now has to price a world where the blockage lingers, but the war premium fades at the margin,” according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tradingview.com/news/DJN_SN20260330016746:0/">report</a> from MarketWatch.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade, said an end to hostilities would support sentiment, but risks tied to disruption in the Strait remain significant. “The short-term view is that an end to the war would be a welcome development,” Waterer said. “But if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, this leaves global energy markets susceptible to further supply disruptions,” Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-30/stock-market-today-dow-s-p-live-updates">noted</a>.Garfield Reynolds of MLIV said “investors are seriously leaning into hopes for a path toward peace,” adding that now optimism is triumphing in the “short term at the least.” On the other hand, Dilin Wu, strategist at Pepperstone, said it was “premature” to read the latest headlines as a sign that the conflict is ending.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fuel Prices Stay Elevated Nationwide</h2>Patrick De Haan, petroleum analyst at GasBuddy, said the most common gasoline price in the U.S. stood at $3.99 per gallon, up $0.3 from the prior week, while the national median price was $3.79 per gallon.California recorded the highest average gasoline price at $5.82, followed by Hawaii at $5.41 and Washington at $5.27, while Oklahoma posted the lowest average at $3.21, ahead of Kansas at $3.25 and Nebraska at $3.27.&nbsp;Diesel prices also remained elevated, with the national median reaching $5.25 per gallon, up $0.26 from the prior week, reflecting continued pressure across refined product markets as shipping disruptions in the Middle East ripple through global supply chains.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Stocktwits Users Feel About Energy Stocks?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward USO was ‘neutral’ amid ‘normal’ message volume, while INDO and TPET drew ‘extremely low’ message volume with sentiment ‘extremely bearish’ and ‘bearish’, respectively.

USO, BATL, TPET Slide Overnight On Signs Iran Crisis May Be Ending: Analysts Say War Premium Fading, But Supply Risks Remain

Analysts said markets are pricing a fading war premium but warned supply risks remain if Hormuz stays constrained.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Brent climbed as much as 3.7% to $116.75, staying on track for a record monthly gain after a 60% surge in March, while WTI briefly moved above $100.</li><li>The escalation followed Houthi missile launches toward Israel and Iran’s restrictions on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.</li><li>The U.S. reportedly deployed additional troops to the region, while talks around securing enriched uranium from Iran raised concerns about potential deeper military involvement.</li></ul>Major oil stocks and index funds traded higher early Monday as crude surged after Iran-backed Houthi militants entered the Middle East conflict and additional U.S. troops moved into the region, raising fears the widening war could further disrupt global energy supplies.Battalion Oil (BATL) surged over 7%, EON Resources (EONR) gained about 2%, Trio Petroleum (TPET) rose roughly 1%, the United States Oil Fund (USO) added about 1%, while Indonesia Energy (INDO) edged marginally lower.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Brent Tops $116 As Middle East War Escalates</h2>Global benchmark Brent crude climbed as much as 3.7% to $116.75 a barrel and remained on track for a record monthly gain after rising about 60% in March. West Texas Intermediate briefly traded above $100 before trimming gains.The move followed missile launches by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militants toward Israel over the weekend. The group said it would “continue operations” until attacks on Iran and its proxy forces cease, opening a new front in a conflict now in its fifth week.Iran has also restricted most traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which previously carried roughly 15 million barrels per day of crude and about 5 million barrels per day of refined products. U.S. President Donald Trump said Tehran allowed additional tankers to pass as a goodwill gesture. Trump also&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/3bd9fb6c-2985-4d24-b86b-23b7884031f5?syn-25a6b1a6=1">told</a> the Financial Times that he wants to “take the oil in Iran” and could target the Kharg Island export hub.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Ground Operation Risks Grow In Iran War</h2>The U.S. has reportedly ordered thousands of additional troops into the region, raising concerns about a possible ground operation.

Morgan Stanley said recent moves in inflation swaps already “reflect increasing downside risks to growth,” adding that those risks would likely rise further if energy prices continue climbing.Pimco said high-quality bonds are again becoming attractive portfolio stabilizers, noting that “this is a practical moment to consider rebalancing” for portfolios heavily tilted toward equities.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Stocktwits Users Feel About Energy Stocks?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was mostly ‘bearish’ among energy stocks, with USO and EONR seeing ‘low’ message volume and INDO and TPET registering ‘extremely low’ activity.

The near-complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz has severely restricted flows of energy vital to the global economy, sending crude and refined-product prices higher.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Regional Attacks Keep Oil Markets On Edge</h2>Meanwhile, attacks continued across the region on Friday, with Israel striking Iran’s primary missile and sea-mine production facility in Yazd, Kuwait reporting drone damage at Shuwaikh port, and Saudi Arabia intercepting drones in its eastern region.Trump extended by 10 days the deadline for potential strikes on Iranian energy sites to April 6, allowing more time for diplomacy while the U.S. builds forces in the region, including Marine Expeditionary Units and elements of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division.

Iran’s parliament is also reportedly preparing legislation that would charge security transit fees for vessels passing through the waterway.The global benchmark is now on track for its largest monthly gain since 1990, as the near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz has removed millions of barrels per day from global supply and sent product prices from diesel to jet fuel sharply higher.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Hormuz Risks Deepen Despite Diplomatic Signals</h2>U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. remains in talks with Tehran and hopes to end the conflict “in the coming weeks,” even as Iran rejected proposals and continued setting conditions tied to control of the waterway.The Pentagon has reportedly ordered the deployment of two Marine Expeditionary Units, totaling roughly 5,000 troops, along with additional personnel from the 82nd Airborne Division.Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump “does not bluff and he is prepared to unleash hell,” while traders also monitored a separate escalation risk after a drone targeted a Turkish tanker carrying Urals crude near Istanbul.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Iran Pushes Transit Fees Amid Strike Risk</h2>MUFG said, “While the U.S. continues to push for negotiations, Iran has rejected proposals and is considering imposing transit fees on vessels,” reinforcing Tehran’s grip over the critical shipping route.Deutsche Bank said the market’s attention is increasingly turning toward the end of Trump’s five-day postponement of potential strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure this weekend, warning that expectations for near-term de-escalation may be premature.

Iran denied talks were underway even as Israel continued attacks.Large-cap energy companies such as Chevron (CVX) and Halliburton (HAL) saw more muted moves as investors instead focused on smaller exploration-linked stocks that tend to react more sharply to short-term crude price swings and geopolitical risk.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fuel Supply Risks Spread Beyond Middle East</h2>Brent has surged about 40% this month as hostilities involving the United States, Israel and Iran disrupted transit through the Strait of Hormuz, forcing Persian Gulf producers to cut millions of barrels of daily output and raising concerns about a widening global energy crunch.Chile is preparing fuel price increases, Japan ordered a review of its oil-product supply chain, Thailand raised diesel prices, China’s largest refiner prioritized domestic supply, and the Philippines warned that grounding aircraft due to jet-fuel shortages was a “distinct possibility.”Regional tensions also intensified after reports that U.S. allies in the Gulf were moving closer to joining military operations. Saudi Arabia told Washington it was prepared to strike Iran if its infrastructure were targeted, while the Wall Street Journal&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/iran-gulf-states-offense-decision-b8d98ff9">reported</a> that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was nearing a decision on whether to participate in attacks aimed at restoring deterrence.&nbsp;Iranian Deputy Speaker Ali Nikzad said the Strait of Hormuz would not return to normal conditions and ruled out negotiations with the United States, while gas facilities in Isfahan were struck in the latest escalation.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Saxo: Hormuz Disruption Driving Market Repricing</h2>Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/2036349803064406070">said on X</a> that crude rebounded after Monday’s slump as traders reassessed escalation risks tied to continued Hormuz disruption.“Global energy markets are tightening at a record pace amid the continued disruption to flows through the Strait of Hormuz,” Hansen said, adding that reports Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates could join the conflict point to further escalation risk. He said the clearest signal of stress currently lies in refined-product markets rather than crude itself.“Crude’s relative resilience may come under increasing pressure as the initial buffer of elevated oil-on-water inventories continues to erode.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">War Premium Keeps Oil Above $100 Outlook</h2>Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said rising fuel prices across the U.S. reflect tightening supply conditions linked to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.“Gas prices continued to rise nationwide over the last week as seasonal factors, combined with ongoing supply concerns tied to the continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, pushed both gasoline and diesel prices sharply higher,” De Haan said. He added that the national average gasoline price could soon cross a key psychological threshold.Goldman Sachs said Monday’s selloff reflected a partial reassessment of disruption risk. “The market reaction likely reflects some retreat in the perceived risks of lengthy disruptions and of damage to energy assets,” the bank said.Despite the temporary pause in strike threats, analysts said the war premium remains embedded in crude markets. ANZ Research said supply losses have already tightened the global oil balance for the year.Oil prices are expected to remain above $100 per barrel in the near term, the firm said, adding that even if tensions ease, crude is unlikely to return to the $60-$70 range seen previously. ANZ expects oil to average above $90 per barrel in 2026 as disruptions continue reshaping the global supply outlook.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward USO was ‘bearish’ amid ‘high’ message volume, while INDO, TPET and BATL also saw ‘bearish’ sentiment amid ‘extremely low’ to ‘low’ message volume.

Since U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran began in late February, Brent has surged more than 50%.Investors are also navigating mixed policy signals after Trump, shortly before issuing the ultimatum, said he was considering “winding down” U.S. military efforts, adding to uncertainty about the conflict's trajectory.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts See Prolonged Gulf Supply Disruptions Ahead</h2>Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/2035983329137160546">said on X</a> that refined-product markets continue to highlight tightening supply conditions even as crude initially remained supported by floating storage accumulated earlier in the conflict. He added that the early supply buffer from oil stranded at sea “is now being steadily eroded.”Meanwhile, UBS said on Friday that uncertainty around reopening the Strait of Hormuz continues to signal expectations for prolonged supply disruptions from the Gulf region.The brokerage warned that even rerouting the pipeline may not fully offset the impact due to limited storage capacity, while tanker escorts through the Strait of Hormuz remain uncertain despite efforts by the U.S. and its allies. UBS said a planned 400-million-barrel strategic reserve release by OECD countries would likely offset only part of the disruption, especially as refinery output cuts in the Middle East begin affecting markets in Asia and Europe.UBS expects Brent to climb well above its $90 per barrel end of June forecast in the near term if supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz persist and scarcity fears intensify.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Hormuz Deadline: ‘Ticking Time Bomb’</h2>Barclays said threats targeting energy infrastructure highlight the risks of compounding the effects of supply disruptions across the region. “Reluctant diplomacy and the potential for ground troops could exacerbate the situation.”&nbsp;Meanwhile, IG Australia said Trump’s ultimatum has placed a “48-hour ticking time bomb of elevated uncertainty” over global markets.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he is “not putting troops anywhere,” while Israel indicated it would refrain from further strikes on Iranian energy assets. European nations, Japan and Canada also signaled efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.Oil faced additional pressure after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. could lift sanctions on Iranian oil already at sea, raising prospects of added supply.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts Warn Supply Shock Still In Play</h2>Analysts said the decline in crude does little to resolve underlying tightness.

European natural gas prices surged as much as 35%.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Oil Surges As Gulf Energy Sites Come Under Attack</h2>The oil rally follows a sharp escalation in the Middle East, with Iran targeting key energy facilities after earlier strikes on its South Pars gas field. Missile attacks hit a major LNG site in Qatar, causing “extensive damage,” while additional strikes impacted petrochemical assets in Iran and forced gas operations in Abu Dhabi to halt after debris from intercepted missiles fell on facilities.Saudi Arabia signaled potential military retaliation after being targeted by Iranian ballistic missiles, with Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan saying trust with Tehran has been shattered and that the kingdom “reserves the right to take military actions if deemed necessary.”Iran has vowed further strikes on oil and gas infrastructure across the Gulf, as the conflict disrupts shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and cuts regional output, pushing oil up about 50% since the war began and widening the Brent-WTI gap to around $17.<h2 class="st-heading-2">‘Acute Tightness’: Analysts Warn Of Supply Crunch</h2>Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/2034527173537673414">said on X</a> that the latest escalation has “direct implications for global energy supply,” highlighting “acute tightness” in the market.He added that West Texas Intermediate continues to trade below $100, with the discount to Brent widening to around $16.5, reflecting “regional dislocations” as well as rising speculation that the U.S. may consider measures such as an export ban or other interventions to curb domestic fuel prices.The impact is spreading across fuel markets, with natural gas prices in Europe and Asia extending gains after damage to LNG infrastructure. Patrick De Haan, petroleum analyst at GasBuddy,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/GasBuddyGuy/status/2034448630967411174">said on X</a> that diesel prices are rising at a pace exceeding previous cycles. “The current surge is now outpacing 2022 on a sustained basis,” he said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Bearish Bets Rise Despite Oil Rally</h2>Market positioning is also pointing to heightened volatility. The Kobeissi Letter&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2034356715806720396">said on X</a> that short interest in U.S. oil funds has surged even as prices rise, with bearish bets on the USO increasing about 50% over the past month.“This means traders are increasingly betting against rising oil prices, even as the rally continues,” the note said, warning it creates “a setup that often leads to extreme volatility.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Physical Oil Shortages Outpace Market Pricing</h2>Jeff Currie, chief strategy officer at Carlyle Energy Pathways, said current oil prices may not fully reflect real-world supply constraints. “The paper markets… they’ve entirely disconnected from the physical markets,” Currie said, noting crude delivered into Asia has traded between $130 and $170 per barrel.He called the situation a “molecular contagion,” with shortages spreading across global supply chains. “You can’t print molecules,” Currie said, emphasizing that financial tools cannot resolve physical supply disruptions. He added that the current supply shock is comparable to the demand shock seen during the pandemic.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward BOIL, USO, INDO, TPET, and BATL was ‘bearish’, with message volume ranging from ‘normal’ and ‘high’ to ‘low’.
