Petrolul se ieftinește, deși atacurile asupra navelor se intensifică în Strâmtoarea Ormuz. Investitorii analizează riscurile

Oil prices fell by over a dollar per barrel as investors assess supply risks from attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and potential U.S. sanctions relief. Brent crude futures dropped to $104.67, while WTI fell to $94.07. The decline reversed previous gains following Houthi attacks on Saudi Aramco and increased Iranian threats. Recent maritime incidents have heightened tensions, with Iran intensifying strikes in response to U.S. blockades. U.S. discussions on easing sanctions aim to lower transport costs. Meanwhile, Russian oil production has increased, but remains below last year's levels. U.S. crude stocks fell significantly, yet prices showed little reaction, indicating investor caution.
