Oil Prices Fall Below $90
Global oil prices have slightly declined despite escalating tensions in the Middle East, as Brent crude fell below $90 per barrel after rising eight percent the previous day, while West Texas Intermediate dropped below $84. The continued transit of tankers through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, despite the escalation, indicates attempts to find alternative routes to mitigate potential disruptions to oil supplies. This comes amid American and Saudi military strikes targeting Iran-backed groups, with Iran responding to the attacks. The risks to the stability of oil markets are growing amid ongoing military escalation and threats to maritime navigation.
