Oil Prices Spike After Appointment of New Iran’s Supreme Leader

(MENAFN) Crude oil values soared beyond $105 per barrel and briefly touched $108 on Sunday following the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s new supreme leader, after the death of his father in a US-Israeli airstrike.

Information from Trading Economics indicated that oil benchmarks experienced a sharp upswing as markets responded to the situation in Iran, amid escalating tensions across the Middle East and increasing concerns over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil shipments.

Earlier on Sunday, Iranian officials confirmed that Mojtaba Khamenei had been selected as the nation’s new supreme leader.
