Brent Oil Rises; Focus Remains on Hormuz

 

Brent crude prices are currently climbing to a more than three-week high, driven by concerns that the US-Iran standoff will continue to disrupt supplies from the Middle East. From a fundamental perspective, the rise in Brent is supported by a persistent geopolitical risk premium following President Donald Trump's statement that no talks are taking place with Iran, while uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz continues to loom over global energy trade flows.

Oil price at the time of this analysis: $93.72
