LPG, CNG, PNG prices today: Concerns over LPG, CNG and PNG prices have increased due to the escalating US-Iran conflict. The tensions have raised fears about energy supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for global shipments.

Oil prices rose for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday following a new wave of US strikes on Iranian military installations. The strikes have raised concerns about a possible full-scale conflict and potential supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude futures increased by 33 cents, or 0.4%, reaching $85.28 a barrel by 0026 GMT. Meanwhile, US West Texas Intermediate futures went up by 42 cents, or 0.5%, to $80.02 a barrel. Both benchmarks had gained about 0.3% on Wednesday and remained close to their one-month highs recorded on Tuesday.

New data from S&P Global shows a significant drop in vessel crossings through the Strait of Hormuz, from 93 on June 24 to 17 on July 13. This decline points to disruptions in global maritime trade, linked to worsening regional security and recent military actions by the US and Iran.

Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz remained open to commercial traffic. However, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared the strait would stay closed until the end of what it called "America's evil deeds". The group also claimed responsibility for attacks on weapons storage facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait.

Meanwhile, the US has renewed a naval blockade on Iranian ports and coastal areas and imposed new sanctions targeting a shipping network accused of helping Tehran evade restrictions on oil sales and other activities.
