Friends After the late February strikes involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran, Brent crude spiked to nearly $82 intraday. The market reacted fast. Fear was everywhere.
But here’s the interesting part…
Washington confirmed there are NO plans to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The U.S. still holds around 415 million barrels and officials believe this spike is driven by geopolitical emotion, not an actual supply shortage.
So what’s really happening?
✔️ Global oil production is projected to OUTPACE demand in 2026 (IEA & EIA forecasts).
✔️ OPEC+ is increasing output by 206,000 barrels per day starting April.
✔️ Even with tensions around the Strait of Hormuz (which carries 20% of global oil), physical supply hasn’t collapsed.
Yes, volatility is real.
But structurally? The market is still “adequately supplied.”
Many analysts now expect oil to drift back into the
$60 range if the conflict doesn’t escalate further.
This is a classic example of sentiment vs fundamentals.
When fear spikes… smart money watches supply data. 👀
Now think about this:
If oil cools down, what happens to inflation expectations?
And what does that mean for crypto and risk assets?
Are you seeing this as short term panic or the start of something bigger? 👇💬
