Oil prices have risen as market participants weigh the potential for renewed conflict between the U.S. and Iran following the U.S. midterm elections. This development comes amid a recent upward trend in Brent and WTI crude-oil futures, which gained over 10% in October. Despite this recent rise, both Brent and WTI are set to experience weekly declines of around 12%, influenced by diplomatic hopes that led to a selloff earlier in the week. The renewed price increase reflects concerns over possible disruptions to oil shipments through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for global oil supplies.
