Prețul petrolului stagnează pe fondul tensiunilor SUA-Iran. Traficul petrolier prin Strâmtoarea Ormuz încetinește
Oil prices showed minimal fluctuations at the start of trading on Monday, following a slowdown in oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend. No peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran is in sight, impacting market sentiment. Brent crude futures rose slightly, while U.S. WTI futures fell. Both contracts had increased over 5% last week due to attacks on tankers and a refinery. Iran's foreign minister stated that negotiations with the U.S. have not resumed, while Trump suggested Americans accept slightly higher gasoline prices amid ongoing conflict. Maritime transport through the Strait has slowed, with a significant drop in vessel crossings reported.
