Barilul de ţiţei Brent depăşeşte din nou pragul simbolic de 100 de dolari. Riscuri de aprovizionare • Newsweek România

Brent crude oil prices have surpassed $100 amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, marking the first time since July. The increase is attributed to recent attacks by Iranian forces on U.S. vessels and ongoing conflicts affecting oil supply routes. Market participants are concerned about prolonged instability in the region, which could disrupt oil flows and further elevate prices. Major banks have revised their oil price forecasts upwards, reflecting the heightened risks in the market. Despite increased production from non-OPEC countries, the International Energy Agency anticipates a decline in global oil supply this year.
