On Tuesday, November Brent crude futures increased by 1.22% to $106.56 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures rose over 1% to $93.57 per barrel. The market reacts to ongoing tensions in the Middle East, despite reported efforts for conflict resolution, with focus on talks involving Iran and the U.S. that might impact prices. Issues surrounding energy infrastructure and the Strait of Hormuz also remain a point of concern, as the waterway is critical for global oil transit.
