The recent escalation of tensions in the Middle East has led to increased risks and tighter global supply, causing WTI oil prices to hold above $85.50.

US forces targeted Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, prompting Tehran to strike targets in the UAE and Jordan. President Donald Trump warned of potential military action against Kharg Island, which serves as Iran's primary oil export hub.

The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical choke point for crude shipments, with major Gulf producers continuing to ship partial volumes despite severe hazards such as naval mines.
