Oil prices climb amid US-Iran concerns
Oil prices rose today, Tuesday, amid concerns that there are not enough details in the preliminary agreement to end the war between the United States and Iran, with differing expectations regarding the speed of resuming supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude futures increased by 0.3% to $83.42 per barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate crude rose by 0.3% to $81.12, after falling by about 5% on Monday following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran. Although the memorandum paves the way for reopening the strait and extending the ceasefire for 60 days, the final details remain unclear. Analysts expect that a full resumption of supplies may take time and effort to restore damaged infrastructure and rebuild maritime confidence.
