Crude Oil is trading today at 86.03.
Crude oil futures, which gained more than 4 per cent on Monday, traded lower on Tuesday morning as the markets analysed the potential impact of Israel and Hamas war on the crude oil market.
Market reports said Israel produces very little oil. However, a continued war between Israel and Hamas could impact the crude oil supply from West Asia to the world market. It could aggravate the supply tightness in the market.
Market reports also noted that the current war situation in West Asia could also impact the plans of the US to broker a peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Allegations of Iran’s involvement in the attack on Israel may lead to the tightening of sanctions by the US.
