Oil prices are up! The Brent Crude is on a bullish rally as investors have been buying into the oil benchmark, pumping it almost 4% in three trading sessions as it reclaimed the $85/bbl mark after losing it three weeks ago! But why? Due to rising tensions. Recently, a Ukrainian drone strike caused a massive fire in a Russian oil terminal. Although the fire was controlled, markets were reminded of the importance of Russian crude as the risk of supply disruption added a risk premium to oil prices. Moreover, tensions in the Middle East are still persisting as a ceasefire deal has still not been reached, and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu recently dissolved the war cabinet, a move that experts claim will negatively impact a peace deal. When reporting, the Brent Crude was trading at around $85.49/bbl, up 3.9% in 3 days.

Oil prices have fallen! Oil started the week off with a rally, but as the week draws to a close, Bulls have run out of steam and Bears are taking oil prices down. It has lost over 1% in two trading sessions!! But why? Due to greater supply and easing tensions. According to recent releases by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), US inventories saw a sharp swell.

The increase sparked concerns of increased supply and cooling demand in the US. Moreover, geopolitical tensions are easing. While Israel continues to pound Gaza and Lebanon with casualties increasing on both sides, there are renewed talks of a ceasefire. David Barnea, the head of Israel’s Mossad will be travelling to Doha for fresh talks on a ceasefire and getting the hostages back. CIA Director William Burns will be present for the talks as well as Qatar and Egypt continue to act as mediators between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.

Oil Prices Surge Amid New Sanctions and Extreme Weather On January 10, oil prices made a significant leap, with Brent crude and WTI futures rising over 3% to reach their highest levels in three months. This surge comes on the heels of the U.S. announcing its harshest sanctions package yet against Russian oil, aimed at crippling the nation's oil revenue across all stages of production and distribution. Additionally, extreme cold weather in both the U.S. and Europe is adding fuel to the fire, exacerbating concerns over supply disruptions. With traders on high alert and the situation evolving, we can expect further volatility in oil prices in the coming weeks. #OilMarket #Sanctions #BrentCrude #WTI #EnergyNews

Brent crude prices are trading within a stable range of $74-$80 per barrel despite geopolitical tensions. Weak demand from China, a shift towards electric vehicles, and increased production from non-OPEC countries like the U.S. and Brazil contribute to this stability. Fresh and harsher sanctions against Russia and Iran could disrupt supply and temporarily impact prices, but overall, the market remains well-supplied.
