Petrolul Brent urcă la 98,65 dolari pe baril. Riscuri de aprovizionare până în 2027

Oil prices surged to their highest levels in weeks due to Houthi attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and Iran's threats of economic warfare against the U.S. Brent crude rose to $99.00 per barrel, while WTI reached $94.41. The geopolitical risk premium is significantly influencing prices, with expectations of sustained high prices as tensions in the Strait of Hormuz persist. Recent attacks have disrupted operations in Saudi Arabia, raising concerns about further escalation. Analysts predict limited recovery in maritime transport levels until 2027, while Goldman Sachs has revised its price forecasts for Brent and WTI upwards, reflecting ongoing Middle Eastern disruptions. Diesel supply is expected to remain tight due to refining capacity constraints and seasonal demand peaks.
