Geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran, centered on Strait of Hormuz transit risks, drove the primary volatility in WTI prices throughout August 2026, supporting a rebound from early-month lows near $75 to mid-month highs above $89 before settling near $83.40 by late August. OPEC+ production increases of 188,000 barrels per day for September, combined with a record US crude inventory build of 17.4 million barrels, added downward pressure on supply expectations. Hawkish Federal Reserve commentary on potential rate hikes strengthened the dollar and weighed on demand forecasts, while IEA projections signaled contracting global oil demand of 1.6 million barrels per day for the year. Traders are now monitoring the September 4 jobs report, upcoming EIA data, and any further Hormuz developments for resolution signals.
