# GlobalOilPricesSurgePast100

#OilPricesPullBack Most traders think oil moves slowly.
This week proved the opposite.
The global energy market just experienced one of the most aggressive volatility phases in recent memory. Brent pushed toward 119 while WTI surged more than 35 percent within a single week. Moves of this scale rarely happen without structural pressure building beneath the surface.
At the center of the conversation sits the Strait of Hormuz. Nearly one fifth of global oil supply flows through this corridor which means every geopolitical headline tied to that region instantly translates into market volatility.
