El barril de Brent sube un 3,18 %, hasta 69,47 dólares, ante la tensión de EEUU e Irán

TL;DR

  • Brent crude for April delivery closed at $69.47, up 3.18% in the London Futures Market.
  • The rise was attributed to stalled U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations, reawakening fears of Middle East oil supply disruptions.
  • Iran later announced nuclear negotiations with the U.S. would take place in Oman on Friday.
  • The market had previously been in a downward trend due to de-escalating tensions.
  • The U.S. Secretary of State insisted that Iran nuclear deal negotiations must include limitations on its ballistic missile program, which Tehran rejects.
  • A fall in U.S. crude reserves also contributed to the price increase.
  • Experts note the long-term trend remains influenced by structural oversupply and OPEC+'s decision to maintain production levels.
