Crude oil prices plummeted over 6% on Monday, approaching levels not seen since early October, as investors processed news of targeted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567809/oil-etfs-plunge-premarket-after-israels-strikes-on-iran">Israeli airstrikes in Iran</a>.
U.S. energy stocks followed suit during premarket trading in New York, with sector ETFs posting sharp losses at the start of the week. 
Contracts on West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude, as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), fell over 6% to around $67 per barrel on Monday morning, marking what could be the worst one-day drop since July 2022.
The sell-off followed Israeli airstrikes over the weekend that targeted military facilities in Iran but spared the country's oil infrastructure.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the strikes were "targeted and precise," focusing on Iranian missile production and air defense installations. 
This measured response likely averted a deeper crisis in the oil market, as analysts warned that a broader assault on Iran's energy sector could have risked up to 1.7 million barrels per day (bpd) of Iranian crude exports and led to further regional destabilization. 
U.S. President Joe Biden had cautioned Israel against actions that would directly impact Iran's oil output, warning that such moves could prompt Tehran to retaliate by targeting oil shipping routes in the Middle East.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Analysts Expect Oil Prices To Remain Under Pressure</h3>
Goldman Sachs analysts had previously estimated that a sustained 1 million bpd disruption to Iranian oil supply could have pushed Brent prices up by $10–$20 per barrel. 
With no immediate threat to Iran's oil exports, the bank's forecast for Brent reaching the mid-$80s by late 2025 now appears overly optimistic compared to the consensus view.
The restrained nature of Israel's actions has led some analysts to predict that oil prices will remain subdued, especially in light of broader market dynamics. 
Warren Patterson, head of commodity strategy at ING Group, highlighted that Israel's focused response leaves "the door open for de-escalation," which seems to be reflected in Monday&#8217;s price action.
"If we do see some de-escalation, it would allow fundamentals to dictate price direction once again," Patterson explained, adding that a projected market surplus in 2025 &#8220;would mean that oil prices are&nbsp;likely to remain under pressure.&#8221;
Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, indicated that crude prices have now retraced most of the gains made in early October, which were fueled by Chinese economic stimulus and concerns over potential disruptions to Iran's supply. Hansen pointed out that "sluggish demand" and the impending reintroduction of OPEC+ barrels could further weigh on oil prices.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China's Declining Demand, OPEC+ Production Decisions Add To Bearish Sentiment</h3>
On the demand side, Chinese consumption—accounting for roughly 15% of global oil demand—has been trending downward since May 2024
According to Pascal Devaux, an economist at BNP Paribas, this decline is tied not only to China's economic slowdown but also to structural changes within its energy sector. "Around 45% of new car registrations in China are for electric vehicles, either battery-powered or hybrid," Devaux said, underscoring the impact of the country's low-carbon transition on oil demand.
Capital Economics forecasts that if OPEC+ follows through on its plan to unwind voluntary production cuts initiated in October, an increase in oil supply combined with weak demand growth could drive prices lower throughout the remainder of 2024 and into 2025.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US Energy Stocks See Sharp Losses</h3>

Oil futures surged significantly on Monday morning, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude rising 3% to over $77 per barrel as of 9:00 a.m. ET, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities"> fresh supply disruptions in Libya.</a>
This marks the third consecutive day of oil price gains after hitting their lowest levels since January on Wednesday, Aug. 21. With Monday&#8217;s increase, WTI has climbed more than 7% over the past three sessions, setting the stage for the strongest three-day rally since late March 2023.
What Happened: On Saturday, Aug. 24, the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched a large-scale assault against Israel, using rockets and drones in retaliation for the killing of senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr by Israeli forces. The attack involved hundreds of rockets and at least 20 drones targeting various locations in northern Israel.
In response, Israel carried out airstrikes on multiple Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, hitting at least 17 sites in an effort to thwart further large-scale attacks. Israeli officials described these strikes as preemptive measures aimed at neutralizing Hezbollah&#8217;s capabilities.
The situation remained volatile on Sunday, with ongoing exchanges of fire, fueling concerns about a broader regional conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the strikes against Hezbollah are not &#8220;the end of the story.&#8221;
In Libya, the political and security environment has deteriorated sharply. The eastern government, a rival to the Tripoli-based administration, announced a halt to oil production and exports following a dispute over the leadership of the Central Bank, exacerbating the global supply concerns.
According to Reuters, Waha Oil Company, a subsidiary of the National Oil Corp and operator of a joint venture with ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), announced plans to cut crude production and warned that output could come to a complete stop due to protests and pressures.

Why It Matters: The recent rebound in equity markets after the early August selloff was largely driven by fading fears of a U.S. recession. 
Investors also responded positively to central bankers&#8217; signals of potential interest rate cuts, as confidence grew that inflation is moving closer to the 2% target. 
However, the sudden spike in crude oil prices, driven by supply concerns, could dampen the positive investor sentiment toward risk asset and curb further disinflationary gains in the economy. 
Market Reactions: Energy-related companies saw gains in Monday&#8217;s premarket trading. 
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) rose over 1%. Companies in the oil services sector also benefited, with the VanEck Oil Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OIH#NYSE">OIH</a>) up 1.8%. Firms in the upstream market, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration and Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>), were 1.3% higher.
