Oil prices have increased due to ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, particularly after President Trump denied reports of offering sanctions relief to Iran. Brent crude futures rose to $106.77 a barrel, driven by fears of supply disruptions linked to the US-Iran conflict. The market is reacting to stalled negotiations aimed at ending the war, with Brent on track for a significant monthly gain. The situation is compounded by a recent Israeli drone attack in Gaza, which has escalated regional tensions. Analysts suggest that recovering crude supplies may help stabilize prices, but product shortages and high freight costs continue to exert upward pressure on the market. The geopolitical landscape remains volatile, with potential impacts on global oil supply and pricing.
