Oil prices increased for a second day as concerns grow over the ongoing Middle East conflict, despite renewed efforts by the US and Iran to negotiate a ceasefire through mediators. Brent crude rose 1.22% to $106.56 per barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate gained over 1% to $93.57 per barrel. Talks between the US and Iran are indirect and mediated by Qatar, focusing on ending hostilities, but tensions remain high due to conflicts between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, which threaten regional energy infrastructure. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit route, remains a key point of concern amid these tensions, with potential impacts on global oil supply.
