Oil prices increased in Asia on Tuesday after falling sharply the day before. This change comes as traders consider recent events in the Middle East conflict.
Brent crude oil prices for May rose more than 3% to $102.96 per barrel. At the same time, West Texas Intermediate futures for May increased by 3.6% to $91.27 per barrel. These gains follow a significant drop on Monday, when Brent crude fell about 11% to around $99 per barrel. Prices had reached over $112 on Friday.
US President Donald Trump announced that the US and Iran had good talks about ending hostilities in the Middle East. He also said he would pause military actions against Iranian energy sites for five days. This news initially caused oil prices to drop but increased stock prices. However, traders remain cautious because Iran denied talks took place.
Concerns about ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure in the Middle East continue. These attacks can disrupt oil production and transportation. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway, was responsible for about 20% of the world’s oil supply before the conflict. Iran’s media stated they would allow safe passage for ships, but this excludes vessels linked to their enemies.
