Affected by the outbreak of a new round of conflict in Lebanon and attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the prospects for an agreement to end the US-Iran war are uncertain, and international oil prices have remained volatile and stable. Brent crude oil fluctuated slightly, below $89 per barrel; WTI crude oil was about $83 per barrel. Both types of crude oil recorded a 6% increase last week. The US war against Iran has now entered its sixth month, and the cumulative increase in crude oil during the year has exceeded 40%.
