Quick Glance: Oil Prices Could Witness a 'Super Spike Well Above $100' Post Iran's Strike on Israel
  • Market analysts predicted that oil prices could surge to $100 per barrel and beyond after Iran conducted an aerial attack on Israel, reigniting concerns of a regional war.

  • Iran carried out an aerial attack on Israel on Saturday night, launching over 300 drones and missiles, marking the first direct military attack by Iran on the Jewish state.

  • Insufficient investment renders the supply more fragile, raising the likelihood of a 'super spike well above $100' if the supply is disrupted.

  • Recent months have seen oil prices rise due to trade disruptions and delays caused by maritime attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthis, who express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Quick Glance: Yellen warns of further sanctions in response to Iran's increasing activities
  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned of potential global economic damage from rising tensions in the Middle East and pledged that the U.S. and its allies won't hesitate to use their sanctions powers to address Iran's 'malign and destabilizing activity' in the region.

  • The fast-rising tensions between Iran and Israel and the potential implications of escalation on the global economy are at the forefront of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

  • Yellen announced additional sanctions actions against Iran in the coming days and expressed support for liquidating roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank assets for Ukraine's reconstruction.

  • Another major focus of this year's meetings will be Chinese industrial policy, which Yellen believes poses a threat to U.S. jobs and the global economy. She plans to meet with Chinese counterparts to identify potential areas of cooperation and address concerns.
