Oil gains 1% amid tanker attacks and ceasefire deadlock

Oil futures prices rose by more than a dollar per barrel, amid ongoing tensions caused by attacks on oil tankers and a lack of progress in ceasefire negotiations between the United States and Iran. Brent crude increased by $1.45 to reach $88.52, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate rose by $1.15 to $82.40, marking weekly gains of 6% for Brent and 5.4% for WTI. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's supply passes, have led to reduced maritime traffic. Additionally, the United States announced that it might continue its naval blockade of Iran without specifying a duration, threatening the stability of oil prices and availability in global markets.
