Oil remains beyond $100 per barrel as Middle East supply concerns persist
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported48m ago
Oil prices have remained above $100 per barrel driven by persistent supply concerns in the Middle East. The market surge is primarily linked to escalating regional tensions, particularly around the vital Strait of Hormuz, where recent shipping attacks and assaults on tankers have heightened the dangers of transporting crude oil through the corridor.
Additional upward pressure on prices stems from declining American crude inventories. The ongoing disruptions threaten global supply chains and keep energy markets elevated.
