Brent Crude Surges Above $100 Amid Geopolitical Tensions
Brent crude prices have surged above $100 per barrel due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and constrained oil supply in the Middle East. The current price of Brent crude (XBR) stands at $98.76, a gain of 3.44% on the day.
The upward movement is attributed to US sanctions on Iran, which have restricted oil export flows below pre-conflict levels. This has contributed to the persistent bullish momentum in the market, with technical indicators showing a strong price action above key moving averages.
Looking ahead, analysts predict that Brent crude prices will trade within a range of $95.49 and $102.03 over the next several sessions, with an estimated probability of 57% for an upward move.
