Oil surges almost 2% amid US - Iran tensions 📈

Oil surges almost 2% today as Iranian state media reported that Tehran will not allow enriched uranium to leave the country, prompting markets to increase bets on a potential military escalation in the Middle East, where the United States has concentrated significant forces.

US–Iran negotiations back under pressure: the comments have fueled concerns about a possible collapse of the nuclear talks in Geneva and the risk of supply disruptions from the OPEC producer.
Political “deadline” in the background: nervousness is building ahead of the deadline set by President Donald Trump for reaching an agreement.
Earlier, Oman helped calm markets somewhat, with mediators describing the talks as constructive, although negotiations are set to resume later today.
Two opposing forces: oil prices remain caught between expectations of a global supply glut and rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East.
At the same time, supply is increasing: Saudi exports are approaching a three-year high, and shipments from Iraq, Kuwait, and the UAE are also rising. Nevertheless, a closure of the Strait of Hormuz in a conflict scenario could push prices above $100 per barrel.

OIL (D1)

Crude has climbed back above $72 per barrel, with market attention now shifting to Sunday’s OPEC+ meeting, where a modest output increase for April is under consideration. Today’s rise in oil prices appears to be weighing on equity indices.
