Oil Prices See Slight Increase in Global Markets
Singapore - SABA Oil prices rose in Asian trading on Friday as markets anticipated a potential U.S. announcement regarding Russia that could lead to new sanctions affecting global supplies. Brent crude futures increased by 19 cents (0.28%) to $68.83 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose by 24 cents (0.36%) to $66.81 per barrel. The price increase followed U.S. President Donald Trump's statement about an upcoming announcement concerning Russia. However, gains remained limited due to market concerns about tariff implications and rising production from the OPEC+ alliance. Oil prices faced pressure earlier this week after OPEC+, which includes the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, agreed to increase production by 548,000 barrels per day starting next August in an effort to balance supply and demand. Markets also declined on Thursday, with benchmark crude losing over 2% due to concerns about the impact of U.S. trade policies on global economic growth and energy demand.

"After strikes in Yemen" ... oil prices increased more than 2%
Oil prices rose by more than 2% today , as the United States and Britain launched strikes against Houthi military targets in Yemen, in response to attacks launched by the Iran-allied group on ships in the Red Sea since late last year, according to Reuters. . Brent crude futures rose $1.81, or 2.3 percent, to $79.22 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude rose $1.80, or 2.5 percent, to $73.82 by 01:54 GMT. The American and British strikes represent one of the most dramatic indicators so far of the expansion of the war between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East since its outbreak in October. Witnesses in Yemen confirmed that explosions had occurred across the country. US President Joe Biden said that the precise strikes are a clear message that the United States and its partners will not stand idly by when individuals are attacked, nor will they allow 'hostile parties to endanger freedom of navigation.' He added that Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands supported the operation. The US-led attacks came in the wake of Iran's seizure yesterday (Thursday) of a tanker carrying Iraqi oil that was on its way to Turkey, in response to the United States' seizure last year of oil that the same tanker was carrying.
