Crude oil prices rose on Monday due to renewed tensions in the Middle East. Brent crude climbed to nearly $91 per barrel, a gain of 6% over the past week.

U.S. Energy Secretary Wright stated that the U.S. is adopting a long-term strategy regarding Iran, implying no immediate intention to de-escalate the situation. This rhetoric has contributed to higher oil prices.

The U.S. shift toward economic sanctions rather than military pressure is reducing the geopolitical risk premium and limiting the upside for oil prices, according to Arne Lohmann Rasmussen, Chief Analyst at Global Risk Management.
