Сьогодні ціни на нафту зросли через тривале занепокоєння щодо постачання з ключового регіону видобутку на Близькому Сході на тлі почастішання нападів на судна в Перській затоці та Ормузькій протоці. — Укрінформ.

Ціни на нафту зростають через побоювання щодо безпеки постачань із Близького Сходу

According to Ukrinform, this is reported by Reuters.

In addition, the United States reduced production due to the threat of a hurricane for offshore platforms.

As of morning, Brent crude oil futures rose $2.28 (or 2.28%) to $102.28 per barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures added $1.66 (or 1.88%), hitting $89.94.

In October, the threat to oil transportation in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz (through which about 20% of world oil and fuel volumes passed before the war) increased, as the conflict between the United States and Israel and Iran continues the eighth month.

On Wednesday, the UK's Maritime Trade Operations Agency reported another attack: a tanker north of Qatar was hit by several shells, causing casualties.

Context

Last week, the number of attacks on tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz peaked since the start of the war, while Gulf producers ramped up exports. The escalation of attacks takes place against the background of an increase in the volume of oil exported from the Gulf, but is accompanied by higher costs and risks for cargoes and crews.

What's next

“The frequency of Iranian attacks on ships is now at its highest level since the start of the war and is likely to continue to increase,” said Saul Kavonic, head of energy at MST Marquee.

ANZ analyst Daniel Hines on Thursday noted that the volumes of oil the IEA plans to release are likely part of the organization's initial plan to release 400 million barrels approved at the beginning of the conflict in the Middle East; this means that such a step obviously does not involve additional use of strategic reserves.
