Oil prices rise on Middle East supply risks despite potential Russian export boost

Brent crude oil prices recovered to around $109.78 per barrel amid renewed concerns over supply disruptions in the Middle East, following unconfirmed attacks on Saudi energy sites by Yemen’s Houthis. The risk of supply interruptions in the Gulf remains the key factor driving oil prices higher. However, potential increases in Russian fuel exports due to a U.S. sanctions waiver could limit price gains. Technical analysis suggests Brent could break above $110 and move towards $120 if supply fears persist, while WTI oil may rise above $106 towards $110. The market remains cautious, balancing supply risks against possible easing from increased Russian exports and safer Gulf shipping conditions.

Brent crude oil price forecasts provide context with Pluang's Energy sector data as of Oct 20, 2026 07:11 WIB. Of 79 priced Energy-sector US stocks, 27 rose and 51 fell. Notable movers include RIG at USD 5.89 with a 4.80% increase and 100% buy order activity, LEU at USD 110.14 down 4.18% with 72% buy orders, and PBF at USD 81.43 down 3.66% with full buy orders. Typical hold times vary from 2 to 31 days.
