Oil prices climb amid rising tension and supply worries
Global oil prices have risen due to the deteriorating situation in the Middle East. Tehran has shown a strategic shift toward military attacks, while Washington has failed to extend the ceasefire. Negotiation setbacks have disrupted tanker movements through the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns about energy supply disruptions. Brent crude increased by 27 cents to reach $91.14 per barrel, the highest since late July, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose by 42 cents to $85.04. There has been a significant decline in ship traffic through the strait, prompting global markets to worry about how escalating tensions might impact supply chains and energy stability.
