WTI oil futures have surged 1.55% to reach $82.70 on Tuesday, marking their highest level in over a week.

The price increase comes as uncertainty surrounding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz continues to deepen following US President Donald Trump's comments on Iran's compensation demands.

Trump stated that Washington also wants reparations for the damage and death caused to people in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza.

This escalation has raised concerns about navigation through the Hormuz, with investors seeking clarity from Iran and Oman regarding their proposed framework for managing traffic near the passage.
