Oil prices surged by more than 2% during early Tuesday trading as the global energy market reacted to heightened supply risks in the Middle East. Brent crude futures jumped $2.48 to reach $102.69 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose $2.42 to $95.92. The price action reflects growing anxiety over the near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime chokepoint responsible for the movement of 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.
