US strikes against the Houthi group aimed at disrupting navigation in the Bab al-Mandab strait caused temporary spikes in oil prices, briefly reaching $72 per barrel. However, prices quickly stabilized around $71, indicating minimal geopolitical impact on the broader oil market. The oil sector is experiencing a dual challenge; demand is slowing due to fears of an economic downturn, while OPEC+ prepares to raise production by 138,000 barrels per day to balance the market amid these fluctuations.
Despite momentary spikes in oil prices due to recent US strikes, the overall impact on the oil market has been minimal, indicating resilience.
The crude oil market is facing headwinds from slowing demand due to economic concerns, coupled with OPEC+'s decision to gradually increase production.
