Oil Prices Seen Supported by Tensions in Middle East -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-16

0256 GMT - Oil prices are likely to be supported by tensions in the Middle East, says Phillip Nova analyst Priyanka Sachdeva in a commentary. Crude oil prices surged over 18% in June, driven by consistent demand and increasing geopolitical uncertainty, the analyst points out. Iron holds 3% of global oil supplies. Still, the oil market cannot ignore the potential negative impact that Trump's universal tariffs may have on economic growth, she adds. Front-month WTI crude oil futures are up 1.1% at $73.81/bbl; front-month Brent crude futures are 1.0% higher at $74.94/bbl. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
