Oil prices rose sharply amid the war between the U.S. and Iran and the threat of prolonged disruption of energy supplies from the Middle East. Futures for U.S. WTI rose for five days by about 35% - this is the largest weekly growth since the beginning of trading in oil contracts in 1983, notes CNBC. All week American stocks showed strong volatility: the so-called Wall Street fear index jumped by 25% by the end of Friday and almost reached 30 points, while the alarming is considered to overcome the mark of 20.

The fastest rise in oil in history and a fear index under 30: the results of the first week of the war

The price of Brent crude soared by 10%, exceeding $94 per barrel for the first time since 2023. The sharp rise in prices was triggered by news that Kuwait began cutting production due to a shortage of oil storage facilities, and Qatar warned that a prolonged war could "collapse the world economy". The White House said the war could last another four to six weeks, and US President Donald Trump ruled out talks with Iran and demanded its "unconditional surrender". Analysts believe that without de-escalation of the conflict, the cost of oil could exceed $100 in the coming days. At the same time, the US market was pressurized by the employment report, which contrary to expectations showed a reduction in the number of jobs and an increase in unemployment. What was happening in the market was followed in this online.
