Oil ended the week higher as geopolitical risks resurfaced. The collapse of the U.S.-Iran deal, revoked sanctions waivers, and shipping threats in the Strait of Hormuz drove prices up, though the EIA's lowered 2026 Brent forecast to $81.91 kept gains in check.

In its July outlook, the EIA slashed its 2026 oil price forecast, projecting Brent crude to average $81.91 per barrel (down from $95.39). The steep revision stems from rising Middle East supply and recovering trade flows following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil prices rose over 4% to a two-week high, with Brent near $77 and WTI around $73. The surge follows the collapse of the U.S.-Iran interim peace deal and revoked sanctions waivers, renewing shipping and supply risks through the critical Strait of Hormuz.
