Brent prices have been rising for three consecutive days as of this Monday. The price of a Brent barrel has climbed to 79.00 USD, and there are underlying reasons for this surge.

The focal point of attention is the unfolding events in the Red Sea, where the situation is challenging. This holds significant importance for the crude oil market as numerous tankers with energy carriers pass through these waters. Any disruptions in transportation accessibility could potentially impact the crude oil supply. The market incorporates this concern into its quotes. While some tankers have already altered their routes, others continue passing through the Red Sea.

The Libyan factor also supports oil bulls. Protests in the country might lead to a shutdown of two additional oil and gas organisations. Earlier, operations were halted at the Sharara field, causing the market to lose approximately 300 thousand barrels of crude oil daily.

Meanwhile, various drivers exert pressure on the market. Increasing crude oil production among non-OPEC+ members, including the US, is one such factor. Additionally, there is uncertainty in Chinese crude oil demand.
