„Furtuna perfectă” duce din nou la scumpirea petrolului

Oil prices have surged by 5% as markets react to renewed threats to supply from the Gulf, particularly due to Iran's attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Shipping companies are offering high salaries to captains navigating the area, reflecting the increased risks. Brent crude has surpassed $105 per barrel, while U.S. oil is trading at $92.22. The situation is exacerbated by production cuts in the U.S. due to storms and rising demand in Asia. Iran's actions have coincided with a significant increase in oil exports from the Middle East, creating a volatile market environment. Shipping costs have skyrocketed, impacting global oil prices and potentially inflation rates.
