Summary

Oil prices rose sharply and stock markets fell after President Donald Trump threatened military action against Iran. The tensions raised fears of a disruption to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane.

In response, the investment bank Goldman Sachs raised its forecast for oil prices, citing the risk of a major supply shock. Meanwhile, at the CERAWeek energy conference, Chevron's CEO said US shale oil production is expected to plateau, which could also affect future supply.
