Crude holds firm near recent highs
Global crude prices remained high on March 13, reflecting continued tension in energy markets amid the West Asia conflict and disruption around key shipping routes. As per the latest update, WTI crude stood at $95.58, down $0.15 or 0.16 per cent, while Brent crude was at $100.46.
Why oil had eased earlier before Thursday’s fresh jump
Oil had earlier come off its highs after hopes of some easing in supply stress and expectations that emergency policy action could soften the shock. But prices jumped again on Thursday after Iran reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz would remain shut, while attacks on tankers and disruptions to Iraqi port operations heightened fears of a prolonged supply crunch. Reuters said the market was also weighing the limited near-term relief expected from emergency stock releases and policy waivers.
West Asia conflict continues to drive oil market anxiety
The conflict has kept traders focused on the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil transit routes. The war has caused one of the biggest recent supply disruptions, with concerns over shipping, exports and refining activity across the region.
