Amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, oil prices climbed today as reports emerged of renewed military strikes between the United States and Iran, rekindling concerns about supply disruptions from the key producing region. According to CNBC, the escalation follows a halt in peace talks, increasing the geopolitical risk premium in crude markets.
The upward price pressure was reinforced by data showing a decline in U.S. crude inventories, with the American Petroleum Institute (API) reporting a draw of 765,000 barrels for the week ended June 23, per market data. These developments come as the risk of disruption to Iranian oil exports grows if military operations continue, adding further strain to an already tight supply environment.
