“The potential for a rally over $100 a barrel has received an enormous boost.

“Those who have bet on such a move anticipated the escalation of the conflict, ” said Tamas Varga of oil broker PVM.

Julius Baer analyst, Norbert Rucker, added: “We see the oil market in a period of frothiness and nervousness, spiced up by geopolitical fears and emotions.
