WTI Crude Opens 0.7% Higher Near $93 on Renewed Iran Tensions

The firm open reflects geopolitical risk being repriced into crude rather than any change in physical supply, which is why the move is modest and concentrated at the front of the curve. The read-across matters most for tokenized commodity products and RWA baskets with energy exposure, where overnight gaps tend to show up before broader crypto risk sentiment reacts. Whether the premium holds or fades once the Asia-Pacific session deepens is the open question, since geopolitical headlines of this kind often decay quickly without a concrete supply disruption.
