The current price of oil is $89.055 as of 27.05.2026.
Oil reached its all-time high of $147.27 on 11.07.2008. Oil's all-time low of $-40.32 was recorded on 20.04.2020.
Oil represents one of the most liquid assets in global markets, traded in US dollars.
The leading oil exporters are Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the US, which provide a significant share of global supply.
Oil reserves in strategic storage facilities of OECD countries remain an essential factor affecting crude oil price performance.
At the end of February 2026, the United States, together with Israel, launched a military operation against Iran. This led to instability in the energy market, with WTI rising to $113.13. According to various estimates, prices are expected to fluctuate between $92.11 and $146.20. Some analysts expect the asset to trade within the $100–$125 range, with potential growth toward the end of the year.
Forecasts for 2027 vary significantly. Under conservative scenarios, oil is expected to trade within the $99.99–$130.89 range. However, a rise toward $203.75–$369.10 cannot be ruled out.
Projections for 2028–2030 are also mixed. Prices are expected to fluctuate within the $95–$161 range, although some analysts forecast significant growth to $528–$585 by the end of 2030.
Long-term forecasts for 2040–2050 remain highly uncertain. According to some estimates, prices could rise to $522.25–$795.55 by 2040 and to $1,375.54–$1,909.52 by 2050.

The world is running out of oil. Implausible three months ago, the likelihood of a crude shortage on a global scale is becoming increasingly realistic with each day that the Strait of Hormuz remains almost completely blocked. Analysts are no longer modeling for a swift end to the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran. They are now also allowing for an extended period of severe energy flow disruptions—and it is not looking good.

He said: “What is certain is that the hands of time will not turn backwards and the nations and lands of the region will no longer serve as shields for American bases. The United States not only will no longer have a safe haven for its mischief and for establishing military bases in the region but, day by day, it is growing more distant from its former status.”

He added: “The shaken Zionist regime and the cancerous tumour of Israel are approaching the final stages of their wretched existence.” His remarks put into perspective Trump’s much-derided claim that Arab states, as well as Turkey and Iran, should normalise relations with Israel.

Iran's foreign ministry called the strikes a ceasefire violation and warned that Washington would bear responsibility for “all consequences,” without elaborating.

Israel and Iran exchanged more missile strikes Tuesday, including one that hit central Tel Aviv, according to Israeli authorities.

The latest exchanges come as Washington and Tehran send conflicting messages about the war's future and possible talks to end it. On Monday, President Trump said the U.S. and Iran have had "productive" conversations about ending the war. He postponed a threatened attack on Iran's energy infrastructure until the end of the week, contingent on talks' progress. Iranian officials, meanwhile, have dismissed the idea of negotiations as "fake news," but Iran's foreign ministry said it was responding to requests through intermediaries of friendly countries.
