Brent crude has exploded since the Iran war began, rising from around $72 before the conflict to above $113–$116 by the end of March, putting it on track for roughly a 56%–59% monthly gain — its sharpest monthly rise on record in Reuters’ data going back to 1988.

To put this move into perspective:

• 1973 Arab Oil Embargo: massive shock, but spread over months

• 1979 Iranian Revolution: huge rally, but slower

• 1990 Kuwait Invasion: sharp spike, but not this fast

• 2008 Oil Boom: +50% over about 6 months

• 2022 Ukraine War: strong surge, but over weeks, not days

What makes March 2026 different is the speed. This is not just another oil rally — it is one of the fastest geopolitical energy shocks ever seen, driven by war risk, supply disruption, and fears around the Strait of Hormuz, which handles about 20% of global oil and LNG flows.

If tensions stay elevated, oil could remain a major driver of:

inflation fears

risk-off sentiment

pressure on global equities

volatility across crypto markets

Fastest shock in modern oil market history? Very possibly. And it may not be over yet.
