Oil Prices Stay Elevated as Saudi Arabia Restores Pipeline Flows Amid Strait of Hormuz Tensions
Oil prices remained above $100 per barrel amid ongoing uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz due to US-Iran tensions. Saudi Arabia has restored about half the capacity of its East-West pipeline and resumed crude exports from Red Sea ports, easing some supply concerns. Despite these recoveries, risks to regional energy infrastructure and shipping persist, with continued geopolitical tensions influencing market volatility. Analysts note that while crude flows have improved, elevated prices reflect ongoing risks and constrained global inventories.
