Day 13 of the Iran war marked another major escalation, with new strikes across Iranian territory, attacks affecting Gulf states, and continued disruption in one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints, the Strait of Hormuz. This report examines the last 24 hours in detail, including military developments, regional spillover, global diplomatic reactions, and the economic impact on oil, shipping, and market sentiment.

The IEA’s March 2026 Oil Market Report marks a sharp turn in the global energy narrative. What looked in February like a market moving toward manageable surplus has become, in March, a crisis-driven environment defined by disrupted Strait of Hormuz flows, lower oil demand expectations, refinery stress, and the largest supply shock the IEA has ever described.

The OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report for March 2026 presents a market that remains fundamentally firm, even as macro, trade and geopolitical uncertainty continues to shape sentiment. OPEC left its major growth projections unchanged, signalling confidence in the resilience of the global economy and in oil consumption growth through both 2026 and 2027. At the same time, crude prices moved higher in February, tanker markets tightened sharply, refining margins diverged by region, and OECD commercial inventories fell month-on-month.

The war between the United States/Israel and Iran, which began on 28 February 2026, entered its twelfth day on 11 March 2026. Fighting intensified and extended beyond Iran's borders, with air raids, missile and drone attacks, and naval clashes. The Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, the world’s busiest oil route, saw renewed attacks on shipping and efforts by the U.S. to neutralize Iranian minelaying. This briefing summarizes developments over the previous 24 hours and situates them within the broader conflict.

The EIA’s Short-Term Energy Outlook for March 2026 shows an energy market shaped by geopolitical oil risk, firmer near-term Brent crude prices, steady U.S. crude production, softer natural gas pricing expectations than the prior forecast, and continued growth in U.S. power demand. In this report, we break down the latest STEO and what it means for oil, gas, electricity, inventories, and the near-term outlook for traders and investors.
