West Texas Intermediate and Brent gained as supply-risk fears from the Middle East outweighed higher exports and renewed U.S.-Iran mediator talks.
- On Tuesday, oil prices extended gains for a second day as persistent Middle East conflict concerns outweighed recovering crude exports. Brent crude futures for November rose 1.6%, while West Texas Intermediate crude reached $94.
- Ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran has focused global attention on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route that previously facilitated 20% of the world's oil supply. Disruptions to this waterway continue to drive market uncertainty.
- KCM Trade chief analyst Tim Waterer noted, 'Much of that increase still relies on workarounds such as ship-to-ship transfers.' Crude exports climbed to 12.8 million barrels a day in September, as these logistical workarounds keep global prices elevated.
- On Saturday, Trump rejected a conditional proposal from Tehran to reopen the waterway. Mediators are working with both sides to end the seven-month conflict, though officials reportedly expressed pessimism regarding a deal.
- UOB analysts said, 'Dominant risk remains the current standoff.' Further talks are expected to focus on an amended seven-day proposal presented last week at the United Nations General Assembly.
