WTI crude is priced at $97.31, with Brent crude at $105.40. While recent moves to lift restrictions on certain vessels aim to counter soaring global freight rates, the International Energy Agency’s diesel release hasn’t completely eased concerns about oil supply. Amid fluctuating oil markets, current tensions in the Middle East and possible shifts in US sanctions have resulted in a marginal decline in oil prices.
