Trump’s Warning to Iran Sparks Oil Market Volatility Amid Supply Risk Concerns

Crude oil prices maintained their weekly gains as traders closely monitored escalating geopolitical risks in the Middle East. Donald Trump issued a specific 10–15 day warning to Iran, significantly heightening market uncertainty and price volatility. The market is reacting to potential supply disruptions involving a major regional oil power following these direct threats. Fundamental support is also coming from declining inventory levels, which have helped stabilize prices despite the geopolitical noise. Technical resistance levels are currently being tested, playing a crucial role in directing the short-term price action of WTI and Brent. Investors remain cautious, waiting to see if the rhetoric translates into concrete actions that could impact global energy supplies.
