Brent crude futures gained 46 cents, reaching $93.56 per barrel, representing a 0.5% increase. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude also saw gains, rising 65 cents to $90.68 a barrel, a 0.7% increase. Trump’s comments alluded to possible military action “this evening,” fueling market anxieties about potential supply disruptions in the Middle East.

Analysts are closely monitoring the situation for further developments and their effect on energy markets. These gains occurred despite ongoing concerns about a potential global economic slowdown.
