Oil Prices Fluctuate Amid Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire and Middle East Tensions
Oil prices fluctuated amid geopolitical tensions and supply developments. US President Donald Trump announced a diesel supply deal with Russia and an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, easing some supply concerns and causing oil prices to dip. However, escalating conflicts in the Middle East, including attacks by Yemen's Houthis on Saudi Arabia and tanker incidents near the Strait of Hormuz, sustained price volatility above $100 per barrel. Analysts highlighted ongoing risks to supply chains and shipping costs, with implications for global markets and import-dependent countries like India.
