Oil prices continued to rise, with West Texas Intermediate up 1.5% and Brent crude up 1.7%, driven by ongoing supply concerns.
Signals from Iran and the United States suggest a possible de-escalation, boosting hopes of a resolution.
However, disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to limit global energy flows, keeping markets on edge.
Oil prices continued to rise, as persistent supply disruptions outweighed signs of easing geopolitical tensions between Iran and the United States.
Crude Benchmarks Edge Higher
West Texas Intermediate climbed 1.5 per cent, while Brent crude gained 1.7 per cent, reflecting ongoing concerns about tight global supply. Prices remained supported even after a volatile trading session, highlighting the market’s sensitivity to supply-side risks.
Hope for Resolution Emerges
Fresh signals from Tehran and Washington pointed to a possible de-escalation in the conflict. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian indicated that the country is open to ending the war, while reiterating key demands, including broader regional stability and recognition of its authority over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. On the other hand, Donald Trump suggested that the US may scale back its involvement soon, raising expectations of a potential diplomatic off-ramp.
Supply Disruptions Keep Markets on Edge
Despite the optimism, traders remain cautious as the conflict continues to impact critical energy infrastructure. Persistent disruptions have significantly reduced movement through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial corridor for global oil and gas transport. This has significantly tightened supply across international markets, pushing prices higher and fuelling concerns about inflation and energy security.
Strong Monthly Performance for Oil
Amid continued instability in the Persian Gulf, Brent crude has recorded its strongest monthly performance on record. The sustained rally underscores how deeply supply risks have been priced into the market, even as hopes for a resolution begin to emerge. Overall, while diplomatic signals offer some relief, physical supply constraints continue to dominate market sentiment, keeping oil prices elevated in the near term.
