WTI crude oil prices dip below $89 as Middle East shipments recover.
Over the past 24 hours, WTI crude oil prices have declined to near $89 per barrel, influenced by the restoration of Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, which has increased oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz to 13.2 million barrels per day. This resurgence in Middle East oil shipments has alleviated supply concerns, contributing to the price drop.
Key points
- Saudi Arabia resumes oil exports via East-West pipeline, boosting supply.
- U.S. proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz received by Tehran.
- OPEC+ maintains current output quotas amid market fluctuations.
