Oil Prices Stay Above $100 Amid US-Iran Conflict and Supply Challenges
Global crude oil prices remain above $100 per barrel despite increased Middle Eastern exports and a planned release of 100 million barrels from G7 emergency reserves. The ongoing US-Iran conflict continues to disrupt supply routes, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, while depleted inventories and refinery challenges contribute to sustained high prices. OPEC's decision to maintain current production levels adds to market tensions. Experts note that easing geopolitical risks is essential for a sustained price decline.
