Oil Prices Spike as US Inflation Concerns Ease and Geopolitical Tensions Rise Oil prices surged as recent US data revisions indicated that inflation pressures are decreasing, sparking optimism that the Federal Reserve may lower interest rates later this year. The price of West Texas Intermediate oil climbed above $77 a barrel, driven by a mix of factors including the S&P 500 hitting new highs, increased geopolitical risks, and technical trading patterns. Additionally, shipping companies have raised alarms about worsening security in the Red Sea. The combination of these factors, along with tighter fuel markets as shown by rising refining margins, has contributed to oil’s price rise. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold bulls eye more record highs despite lightning gains READ MORE Oil's Surge: Algorithmic Buying Meets Geopolitical Tensions READ MORE U.S. Labor Market Surges with 353,000 New Jobs in January, Crushing Expectations READ MORE Oxfam Report: Billionaire Fortunes Double Amidst Global Pandemic READ MORE Fed Expected to Hold Rates Steady READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
