This surge is primarily driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe, which intensified after Ukraine&#8217;s recent strikes deep within Russian territory.<br \/><br \/>Beyond the immediate conflict, several other factors are contributing to concerns about global oil supply. Hopes for a nuclear deal between Western powers and Iran are diminishing. This development supports the likelihood of continued sanctions on Tehran, which would keep Iranian oil output constrained and limit global supply.<br \/><br \/>Furthermore, persistent wildfires in Canada continue to impact oil production. These fires have led to the evacuation of production sites, disrupting approximately 344,000 barrels per day of output.<br \/><br \/>These supply-side concerns are currently outweighing earlier anxieties about increased supply stemming from the OPEC+ decision to boost output starting in July. The market appears to be prioritizing the immediate and potential long-term disruptions to supply channels, underscoring the delicate balance between geopolitical stability, natural disasters, and global energy markets.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil prices saw a notable increase on Tuesday, with futures contracts rising by 2.00% to $63.30 per barrel, up from $62.98.
