This is the Way... to Higher Oil Prices? Iran Conflict Sparks Market Chaos

I Have Spoken: Oil Prices Surge Like a Rocket to Mandalore!

This is the way... the price of oil is going up! After Netanyahu told his military to amp up the attacks on Iran crude oil prices jumped faster than a Mandalorian jetpack launch. U.S. crude went up $1.36 a barrel hitting $76.50. And Brent? Up $1.10 to $77.80. I have spoken.

Beskar Ain't Cheap: Why the Fighting Means More Credits

Since the start of Israel's strikes prices have risen over 11 percent. That’s enough to make a Mandalorian think twice about upgrading his armor. And speaking of upgrades Netanyahu ordered his military to intensify attacks on "strategic targets" in Iran. Strategic targets? Sounds like a polite way of saying “Things are about to get messy.”

The Price of Mando Fuel: This is Getting Expensive!

The goal apparently is to "undermine the ayatollah's regime." Sounds like a job for a Mandalorian but I prefer bounties to regime change. Anyway Israel escalated things after a missile hit a hospital. Katz the Defense Minister pretty much threatened the Ayatollah himself. This is getting heated. I need more fuel for the Razor Crest just thinking about it.

Trump's Gambit: To Strike or Not to Strike? That is the Question!

And then there’s President Trump who's playing his cards close to his chest. "I may do it I may not do it," he said about striking Iran's nuclear program. Classic Trump. Makes you wonder if he's been hanging out with Yoda talking in riddles. Either way the uncertainty is driving the market wilder than a pack of Jawas at a droid auction.

JPMorgan Speaks: When the Sandcrawler Hits the Fan...

JPMorgan is saying that a regime change in Iran could send oil prices skyrocketing. Iran is a big player in OPEC so if they go down we're all paying more for our fuel. Natashia Kaneva at JPMorgan says "Further destabilization of Iran could lead to significantly higher oil prices." She's basically saying hold onto your credits folks because it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

The Way of the Market: Supply and Demand in a Galaxy Far Far Away

Kaneva also pointed out that if Iran's oil supply gets disrupted it won’t be easy to recover quickly. Higher prices are gonna stick around. So stock up on blaster fuel and get ready to haggle at the market. This is the way... things are going to cost more. I have spoken. Now if you excuse me I have a bounty to collect and I need to gas up the Crest.
