Petrolul se ieftinește. Arabia Saudită găsește o cale de a ocoli blocajul din Ormuz

Oil prices fell as Middle Eastern crude exports began to recover, with Saudi Arabia resuming shipments via an alternative route. Concerns over potential disruptions from the Iran conflict are easing. Brent crude futures dropped by 1.09% to $96.96 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate fell by 1.32% to $89.24. The reopening of the East-West pipeline allows Saudi Arabia to maintain some exports despite the blockage at the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts note that while the pipeline is not yet at full capacity, its operation has contributed to lower oil prices. Middle Eastern oil deliveries are nearing pre-war levels, but refined products like gasoline are still lagging behind. The situation remains precarious, as ongoing tensions with Iran could quickly alter supply dynamics.
