WTI crude rose more than 2% Wednesday June 10 to approach $91 a barrel (from ~$88.72 earlier in the session) as the US-Iran escalation intensified - Trump's "pay the price" remarks and the second US strike wave keeping supply concerns in play. The near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to tighten global supplies, though limited volumes are still leaving the Persian Gulf. WTI ~$91 sits far above the <$80-for-30-days invalidation threshold.
