Oil climbs on Middle Eastern supply concerns
Oil prices reacted significantly due to renewed clashes between the United States and Iran in the Middle East, increasing concerns about potential disruptions to oil supplies from the region, a major global production hub. Brent crude rose by 1.2% to $91.54 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate increased by 1.5% to $87.03. Reports indicate that security tensions—including reduced shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and an incident involving a tanker—threaten the stability of global oil supplies. As U.S. oil inventories approach their lowest levels, forecasts suggest that oil prices will remain above $80 per barrel throughout 2026.
