Conflicting reports have emerged over ceasefire talks and rising tensions between Iran and the United States, raising fears of a major escalation. Analysts warn that if the situation worsens, global oil prices could surge, especially if the US deploys forces to control the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a strong Iranian response. Kepler senior crude oil analyst Muyu Xu said oil prices could reach around 120 dollars per barrel, marking a critical turning point in the conflict.
The Middle East remains highly uncertain, and a near-term drop in oil prices appears unlikely. Asian nations could face growing energy shortages, leading to economic and political instability. Japan still holds significant oil reserves, but countries such as the Philippines, Thailand, and Australia have comparatively limited stocks. Rising fuel prices in these markets could lead to real shortages, with potential disruptions to fuel supply and airline operations.
If the conflict extends into mid or late April, several Asian countries could experience severe impacts, including social unrest and humanitarian crises.
