WTI Stuck in Descending Channel as OPEC+ Delays Quotas and Iran Strikes Tanker
The price of crude oil is currently trading at $91.25 per barrel, down 1.78% from its previous close.
This movement comes as OPEC+ has delayed a review that sets its 2027 oil quotas, citing war-damaged projects as the reason for the delay.
Meanwhile, Iran has reportedly struck an oil tanker off the coast of Oman while it was passing through the Strait of Hormuz, raising supply risk and potentially adding a premium to shipping and insurance costs.
The price action suggests that WTI is currently stuck in a descending channel, with resistance at $94.087 and support at $89.139.
