Amillex Daily Market Commentary | Oil Surges Above 100 as Gold Holds at Elevated Levels

On March 13, 2026, global financial markets are experiencing intense volatility triggered by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. International crude oil prices surged more than 9 percent in a single day on Thursday, with Brent crude climbing back to 100.46 dollars, while U.S. crude reached its highest level in nearly four years.

A production disruption of around 10 million barrels per day is now being viewed as one of the most severe supply shocks in history. Even record levels of strategic petroleum reserves may not be enough to fully offset the supply gap.

Meanwhile, the rise in U.S. Treasury yields has weakened gold’s appeal as a holding asset. As a result, spot gold faced heavy selling pressure at elevated levels on Thursday, dropping sharply by 1.88 percent to around 5,079.25 dollars.
