Hormuz is Key: Brent Could Surge or Plummet!

Oil prices are fluctuating, with Brent trading below US$89 and WTI around US$82. US-Iran tensions, vessel attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, and the conflict in Lebanon continue to support prices, even as Gulf exports proceed and global demand remains weak.

Newsmaker Analysis: If disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz escalate, Brent could rally toward US$100. However, if supplies remain steady and demand weakens, prices could face renewed downward pressure, potentially returning to the US$80 range.

Oil price at the time of this analysis: $88.52

- Buy if the price moves to $88.62

- Sell if the price moves to $88.42

Resistance 2: $88.87

Resistance 1: $88.72

Support 1: $88.32

Support 2: $88.20
