The price of Brent crude oil exceeded $93 due to a lack of progress regarding a US deal with Iran. Washington and Tehran have yet to reach a compromise on the terms of a ceasefire.

Global oil prices rose after falling to a six-week low amid uncertainty over the prospects of a peace deal that would end the war in Iran. This is reported by Bloomberg, according to UNN.

Details

It is noted that Brent crude oil showed a sharp increase. A barrel is currently trading above the $93 mark after the market closed on Friday at its lowest level since mid-April.

The US and Iran exchanged messages over the weekend, demanding changes to a draft agreement that would extend the ceasefire and open the Strait of Hormuz, but it was unclear whether the parties had made significant progress

- the article states.

It is indicated that previous optimism regarding a possible deal caused the first monthly drop in oil prices this year. At the same time, Brent remains more than a quarter higher than its level at the start of the war in late February.

Neither Iran nor the US is capitulating or compromising on their red lines for a deal

- said Hamzeh Al-Ghaood, an independent economist on Middle East and North Africa issues.

According to his forecasts, oil prices are likely to continue moving in a "cycle of statements," fluctuating between optimism and caution as "new headlines emerge."

Recall

On May 28, global oil prices rose by 3% after an Iranian strike on a US airbase. The escalation occurred against the backdrop of a six-week reduction in crude oil inventories in the United States.
