Oil prices fluctuate with Middle East tensions
Oil prices diverged amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and attacks on oil facilities, with Brent settling at $109.55 per barrel after a slight decline, while West Texas Intermediate rose to $103.66. Oil flows through the region deteriorated to their lowest level in two weeks due to attacks on ships and targeting shipping movements, with expectations that Iran's escalation of its attacks ahead of the American elections will lead to market volatility. Against this backdrop, OPEC increased oil production in September, despite efforts to curb flows from Iran and Russia.
