Chart of the Week: Riding the oil rollercoaster
Oil prices have been living up to their rollercoaster reputation lately. With the war in Iran adding to the risk premium and disrupting the physical movement of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, the West Texas Intermediate price benchmark has closed over US$100 17 times since the bombing began on February 28. The price bounced around on news from the region, but stayed relatively high. Then, on June 15, the U.S. and Iran reached an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with peace talks seemingly making progress. Oil markets have responded accordingly and prices have come down in rapid fashion.
