 Oil at $117, Hormuz Locked, Modi Asks to Save — What's Happening to the Market? While the world watches the escalation in the Persian Gulf, Brent has broken through $117 per barrel. These aren't just numbers — this is a tectonic shift in the global economy. Key facts from the last 48 hours: • Trump rejected Iran's peace proposal — oil surged • Three supertankers left the Strait of Hormuz "dark" (with transponders off) • India's Prime Minister Modi urged the nation to work from home and save fuel • Brent is already above $100; with a full blockade of the strait, it could reach $130–150 Why this matters for tech and AI: During periods of high volatility in commodity markets, investors seek assets with real value — automation, AI solutions, analytics tools.
