Crude oil prices rose early Monday as renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East pushed both WTI and Brent crude back toward their 50-day moving averages, key technical resistance levels. The U.S. conducted strikes on Iranian military targets in retaliation for attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Iranian missile and drone strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain. This escalation reversed recent peace optimism and reintroduced a war premium into oil prices. Traders are closely watching whether oil can sustain moves above these averages, which could trigger short-covering rallies and further price gains. The situation remains volatile, with the market pricing in ongoing conflict risks until a permanent resolution for the Strait of Hormuz is found.
