Stability in Global Oil Prices - Jordan News
Oil prices remained steady on Wednesday as concerns over a potential increase in output by the OPEC+ group were balanced by a decline in Canadian supply due to wildfires, amid ongoing global trade tensions. اضافة اعلان Brent crude futures fell by 18 cents, or about 0.3%, to $65.45 per barrel by 09:05 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped 19 cents to $63.22 per barrel. Janiv Shah, Vice President of Oil Market Analysis at Rystad Energy, noted that the market decline was driven by the anticipated easing of 411,000 barrels per day in OPEC+ cuts starting in July, despite some relative support from the halt of 344,000 barrels per day in Canadian production due to the wildfires. Both crude benchmarks had climbed about 2% on Tuesday, reaching their highest levels in two weeks, amid concerns about supply disruptions and expectations that Iran would reject a U.S. nuclear deal proposal, potentially delaying the lifting of sanctions on one of the key producers. Amarpreet Singh, an analyst at Barclays Bank, said, 'Geopolitical tensions continue to simmer in the background, pushing underlying risks to the upside, with Russian and Iranian oil exports remaining elevated.' In related news, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to speak this week, just days after Trump accused China of violating agreements to reduce tariffs and trade barriers. Additionally, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) lowered its global growth forecast on Tuesday due to the growing impact of Trump's trade war on the U.S. economy. – Reuters

Oil Prices Rise Amid Supply Concerns Linked to Iran, Russia, and Canada - Jordan News
Oil prices rose in early Asian trading on Tuesday due to growing supply concerns, as Iran appeared poised to reject a proposed U.S. nuclear deal that would be key to easing sanctions on one of the world's largest oil producers, while wildfires disrupted production in Canada. اضافة اعلان Brent crude futures climbed 55 cents, or 0.85%, to $65.18 a barrel by 12:00 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 59 cents, or 0.94%, to $63.11 a barrel, after gaining nearly 1% earlier in the session. Both benchmarks had risen about 3% in the previous session after OPEC+ agreed to maintain its planned production increase of 411,000 barrels per day, a figure lower than some in the market had feared and consistent with the past two months' increases. Geopolitical tensions further supported prices on Tuesday. An Iranian diplomat said on Monday that Iran was on the verge of rejecting a U.S. proposal to resolve the decades-long nuclear dispute, stating that the deal fails to serve Tehran's interests or soften Washington's stance on uranium enrichment. If the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks collapse, sanctions on Iranian oil would remain in place, restricting supply and supporting higher oil prices. Meanwhile, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to fuel supply worries and raise geopolitical risk premiums. Adding to supply fears, a wildfire in Alberta, Canada, has led to the temporary shutdown of some oil and gas production, potentially curbing output. According to Reuters calculations, the wildfires have impacted over 344,000 barrels per day of oil sands production—around 7% of Canada's total crude oil output.

Oil inches up on supply concerns and weaker dollar
Ammon News - Oil prices ticked up on Tuesday on concerns about supply, with Iran set to reject a U.S. nuclear deal proposal that would be key to easing sanctions on the major oil producer, while weakness in the dollar also supported prices. Brent crude futures gained 21 cents, or 0.32%, to $64.84 a barrel by 0437 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 27 cents, or 0.43%, to $62.79 a barrel, after rising about 1% earlier in the session. The oil market surged higher on Monday as rising geopolitical risks and a supply hike from OPEC+ that fell short of expectations provided a boost, said ING analysts in a note. "The strength continued into early morning trading today," ING said on Tuesday. Both contracts gained nearly 3% in the previous session after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as OPEC+, agreed to keep output increases in July at 411,000 barrels per day, which was less than some in the market had feared and the same hike as the previous two months.
