Oil prices rose on Tuesday as traders weighed persistent Middle East supply risks against signs of recovering Gulf crude exports and prospects for additional Russian energy supplies. Brent futures climbed above $110 a barrel, reflecting ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region. At the same time, improving export flows from the Gulf and potential increases in Russian energy shipments provided some market balance.
The rally underscores the market's sensitivity to Middle East developments while also considering broader supply dynamics. Traders remained alert to further developments that could impact global oil availability in the coming weeks.
