Line chart showing WTI crude oil prices jumping roughly 4 percent on August 10, 2026.

WTI crude jumped roughly 4.2% by early afternoon Monday after Iran and Washington each pointed to the naval blockade, rather than sanctions or reparations, as the real obstacle to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. That specific a claim from both sides is sharper than either had offered in weeks. The move erased a month-long round trip: WTI's prior Friday settle near $78 sat almost exactly where the contract started in early July, before Monday's jump broke the pattern.
