Oil prices rise amid uncertainties over Middle East agreement
Oil prices are increasing despite uncertainties surrounding the agreement between the US and Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil prices rose by more than 2% on Tuesday, with Brent crude briefly reaching $90 a barrel. This increase is attributed to declining optimism regarding a potential agreement between the US and Iran that could facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by ECO.
Meanwhile, the price of Brent also increased by 1.36% to $88.91, according to information from Notícias ao Minuto. The uncertainties surrounding the agreement appear to be impacting the market, as negotiations remain at a standstill.
