The bank added that if the disruption in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continues into mid-May, there is a risk of prices climbing above $150 per barrel.<\/p>\n<p>JP Morgan expects oil prices to remain above $100 per barrel through the second quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The bank also forecasted that prices will resume an upward trend in the second half of 2026, driven by a partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a return to more normal oil inventory levels.<\/p>\n<p>JP Morgan emphasized that both the scale and duration of the price increase will play a major role in determining the severity of the broader macroeconomic shock. Sustained high prices, the bank warned, could reduce demand and raise the risk of a global recession.<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices rose on Thursday amid volatile trading.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-date no-social-btn post-updated\">Updated on<time class=\"updated dt-updated\" itemprop=\"dateModified\" datetime=\"2026-04-05T05:14:53+00:00\"> 5 April 2026<\/time><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American banking giant JP Morgan has warned that if disruptions to oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz persist until mid-May, crude oil prices could surge to more than $150 per barrel.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[47,46,36,19,16,35],"tags":[],"services":[],"class_list":["post-16995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-international","category-lastnews","category-news","category-oil","category-topnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16995"},{"taxonomy":"services","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services?post=16995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
