Brent Crude Holds Above $100 as Saudi Pipeline Restores Flows Amid Strait of Hormuz Tensions
Brent crude prices remained above $100 per barrel amid ongoing uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz due to US-Iran tensions. Oil prices declined recently as Saudi Arabia restored about half the capacity of its East-West pipeline, which bypasses the strait and supports global supply. Despite geopolitical risks, crude continues to flow through the strait and Saudi ports, easing some market concerns. Brent futures hovered near $103, while West Texas Intermediate crude traded close to $90 a barrel.
