Prețul petrolului, din nou în creștere pe fondul prelungirii blocajului în Strâmtoarea Ormuz

Oil prices are rising again as the blockage in the Strait of Hormuz continues, with analysts warning of potential significant price increases if the situation persists. Brent crude rose to $88.2 per barrel, while WTI reached $82.56. Hopes for a quick agreement between the U.S. and Iran have diminished, and market reactions could intensify if the blockage continues. The potential for a critical supply point looms if stock levels drop further, with prices possibly reaching $120-140 per barrel. Additionally, China's recovering demand and ongoing Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure add further pressure on global oil supply.
