what happened
Oil gained in Asian trading. Prospects of diplomatic talks eased tension in the Middle East, but they did not spur much selling, as traders are paying closer attention to developments on the ground, ANZ Research analysts said in a note cited by Market Talk.
The analysts said risks to crude supply keep rising. Saudi Arabia said it had brought under control a fire near its largest export terminal at Ras Tanura, which broke out following an attack in the region.
Front-month WTI futures gained 0.6% to $100.47 a barrel, while front-month Brent added 0.5% to $114.45 a barrel, according to ICE data.
why it matters
The threat of physical disruptions to supply from the Persian Gulf keeps a risk premium in oil prices, and talk of negotiations has not removed it so far. The market is focused mainly on the condition of Saudi Arabia's export infrastructure rather than on diplomatic statements.
market impact
Oil: risks of supply disruptions from Saudi Arabia support Brent and WTI prices
- Brent pressure up — risks of supply disruption from the Persian Gulf lift the risk premium
- WTI pressure up — the same pressure on crude supply lifts prices
