SINGAPORE - Oil prices rallied by more than 2 percent on Monday to levels not seen since November 2018 as a Reuters source familiar with the matter confirmed a report that Washington is set to announce all imports of Iranian oil must end or be subject to sanctions.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose to a Nov. 2018 high of $65.39 per barrel, up 2.2 percent from their last close. The U.S. reimposed sanctions in November on exports of Iranian oil after President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled out of a 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and six world powers.

“The U.S. chief Iran hawks indeed have the President’s ear as Pompeo and Bolton are singularly focused on bringing Iran’s economy to its knees,” said Stephen Innes, head of trading at SPI Asset Management.These potential disruption to Iranian supplies add to an already tight market.

Do these increases hurt the rich? No. The farmer? The working class commuter living week to week?, the single mom the college kid, the senior, every American 100,000$ yr or less? You do the math. Make rich great again

I went into the trucking business when it was $100 a barrel so $65 isn't a tragedy. It's been as low as the $30s since then so they've been having a free ride for awhile now.

Great. Now oil prices will increase = gasoline prices will increase.

If the equilibrium broken, gasification might be going to happen immediately.
