Crude oil prices experienced one of the most volatile trading weeks of 2026 during the period of May 3 through May 7, as traders reacted to the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, and sudden changes in diplomatic negotiations. June West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures swung violently between a high of $107.46 and a low of $88.66 before stabilizing near $97 a barrel by the end of the week. The sharp price swings reflected how sensitive the market remains to supply disruptions and geopolitical headlines. Strait…

Before the Iran war began, South Korea imported most of the crude it consumes from the Middle East and is one of the most exposed Asian…
