Oil prices increased on Tuesday after US President Donald Trump made new demands to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane.

The Strait of Hormuz has been blocked by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps in response to US sanctions and military threats. The US is seeking compensation for past casualties from wars, attacks, and protests before reopening the strait.

Oil prices rose with Brent crude futures reaching $88 per barrel, while US crude futures rose to $82.45, marking a 5% surge on Monday's levels, the highest since July 31.
