Oil prices edge up on Friday
Oil prices rose slightly on Friday after the United States threatened to maintain a permanent naval blockade on Iran, raising concerns about global oil supplies. Brent crude increased by 9 cents to reach $87.16 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate gained 4 cents to $81.29. The market continues to trend towards weekly gains of around 4%. This comes amid American statements suggesting the possibility of unprecedented economic measures against Iran, amid deteriorating ceasefire negotiations, and Iran’s imposition of restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil passes. Additionally, two tankers owned by Adnoc were attacked, according to the UAE, marking an escalation of tensions in the region.
