Geopolitical Influences - Recent geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and Iran, have contributed to rising oil prices, with U.S. crude prices fluctuating between 55 and 66 dollars per barrel, and Brent crude surpassing 70 dollars per barrel for the first time since September 2025 [5]. - Iran's significant oil reserves and production capacity, along with its strategic location in the Middle East, make it a critical player in global oil supply, with potential disruptions from military conflicts posing risks to oil transport through the Strait of Hormuz [5].
