Oil increases 2% amid supply worries
Oil prices rose by about 2% today, Tuesday, due to escalating tensions between the United States and Iran in the Middle East, which has raised concerns over potential disruptions to global oil supplies—especially with ongoing disruptions to navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude futures increased to $92.06, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures climbed to $87.85, amid warnings from the U.S. President of potential new strikes on Iran and growing fears that the conflict may persist and impact energy flows through the strait. Despite the rising tensions, ship traffic through the strait has remained at its lowest levels. Analysts expect oil prices to stay above $80 per barrel into 2026 due to ongoing shipping disturbances.
