Crude oil futures for WTI and Brent rose sharply due to ongoing attacks in the Middle East, which threaten the steady flow of oil exports. December WTI crude climbed to $99.07, while Brent crude reached $111.72, both supported by bullish technical trends. Despite near 17 million barrels per day of Middle East exports calming supply fears, repeated attacks on Saudi targets and vessels near the Strait of Hormuz keep traders cautious. The outlook remains bullish unless a confirmed reversal pattern emerges or peace talks between Russia and Ukraine resume, which could reduce risk premiums on oil prices.
