Middle East Tensions Drive Oil Prices Above $98.50
Oil prices continue to rise amid supply fears, with WTI crude oil trading at around $98.60 per barrel during Asian hours on Tuesday.
The price increase comes as traders navigate heightened uncertainty over global supply, particularly in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline remains shut following drone attacks, and a diplomatic meeting between Iran and Gulf Arab states to discuss the situation in Hormuz was abruptly postponed.
Trend-following commodity trading advisors remain heavily committed to the energy complex, with only volatility considerations constraining their positioning.
