Crude Oil Prices Rise Amid Tanker Attacks and Middle East Supply Concerns
Crude oil prices rose for a second consecutive day amid renewed tanker attacks in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns over Middle East supply disruptions. Brent crude briefly topped $100 per barrel, while WTI neared $92. Despite a sharp weekly decline driven by hopes of de-escalation following US midterm elections, ongoing regional tensions and control over key shipping routes continue to support prices. US President Trump emphasized Iran requires US approval for nuclear actions and is considering further measures against Tehran. Diplomatic talks between Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar persist amid unresolved sanctions and security issues.
