Context
The price of Brent crude rose more than 5% on Thursday as the war in the Middle East continues to escalate.
What it means
Brent crude and energy sector moves from the ongoing Middle East conflict and Strait of Hormuz risk have already been called in prior signals covering this same situation. The $100 price level is a psychological milestone, but it reflects the same supply-risk premium already flagged — it does not represent a new actor, channel, or genuine escalation beyond what has been continuously covered over the past 49 days.
