Oil Prices Rise on US-Iran Tensions: Market Impact
Oil Prices Rise on US-Iran Tensions: Market Impact
Oil futures extend gains as U.S. and Iranian military exchanges add tension to talks toward a peace agreement, with Brent back at $100.
Markets Fluctuate on Deal Expectations
Prices fell sharply Monday, when U.S. and other markets were closed, on expectations that a deal was close. However, recent developments have increased uncertainty.
Tracy Shuchart, senior economist at NinjaTrader Group, said: "Markets really want this conflict to be over with and for the Strait of Hormuz to be open. It looks like the impasse is not going to change any time soon." She added that even if an agreement were reached, flows would not automatically return.
WTI is off 2.8% from Friday's close at $93.91 a barrel but above yesterday's levels. Brent is up 4.1% at $100.11 a barrel.
