Oil vulnerable amid Middle East unrest
The article discusses the escalation of tensions between Iran and America and their impact on global oil prices. Estimates suggest that ongoing tensions could lead to prices exceeding $100 per barrel, potentially reaching $120 if no agreement is reached between the two sides. Recently, oil prices have risen by approximately 4% due to military strikes and the interception of Iranian missiles, coupled with a decline in global reserves—especially as factors that previously helped limit price increases, such as stock withdrawals and increased purchases from China, have been exhausted. Experts anticipate that continued escalation could push oil prices even higher, with the possibility of them reaching previous record levels from a few months ago.
