If fighting continues to spread in the Middle East, could oil prices surpass 100 USD/barrel in just a few weeks?
The global energy market has just entered a new trading week with stressful developments as oil prices increased sharply in the Asian trading session. The reason comes from growing concerns that the conflict in the Middle East is moving closer to a new stage of escalation instead of towards peaceful solutions.
Israeli forces over the weekend continued to expand military operations in Lebanon. The move to cross the Litani River and declare many areas south of the Zahrani River a war zone has raised concerns about the risk of a larger-scale conflict breaking out in the region.

Why did the market react strongly?
The Middle East currently accounts for about a third of global crude oil supply. Any sign of military escalation makes investors worried about the risk of supply disruption, especially for strategic oil transport routes.
Factors that are making the market worried include:
β’ The risk of expanding hostilities to Vietnammany countries in the region
β’ Risks affecting important oil transportation routes
β’ Speculative sentiment increases in the commodity market
β’ Large importers increased reserve purchases
Table of hot spots that could impact oil
Potential Impact Area
Lebanon Expands border hostilities
Israel Increases Military Activities
Red Sea Maritime transport risks
Persian Gulf Impact on oil exports
Strait of Hormuz Strategic oil shipping route
Can oil reach 100 USD?
Many energy experts believe that the threshold of 100 USD/barrel is no longer a far-fetched scenario. As long as additional factors such as disruption of shipping, attacks on energy facilities or expansion of hostilities to major oil-producing countries appear, oil prices can completely skyrocket.
Compare with recent crisis periods
Event Oil price reaction
Russia-Ukraine conflict Increases beyond 120 USD
Red Sea Crisis Increases 10% to 20%
Tensions between Iran and Israel increased sharply in the short term
Israel-Lebanon escalation Ongoing
Impact on Vietnam
For Vietnam, rising oil prices often lead to many knock-on effects on the economy.
The areas most clearly affected include:
β Freight transportation
β Aviation
β Logistics
β Retail gasoline prices
β Industrial production costs
However, for the oil and gas industry, high oil prices can also bring significant benefits to exploitation and export activities.
Market assessment
The trading session at the beginning of the week showed that investors are betting on the possibility that geopolitical risks will remainlengthen. In that context, Brent oil prices approaching 95 USD/barrel are becoming a signal that the entire global energy market must closely monitor.
If diplomatic efforts do not achieve positive results in the near future, the market could absolutely witness a new price increase centered on the psychological mark of 100 USD/barrel, a price level that has shaken the world economy in many previous crisis periods.
