Tensions in the Middle East have brought the market's attention back to the escalation of hostilities, which has led to a sharp rise in oil prices. Reports of a possible Iranian attack on Israel from Iraq in the coming days forced investors to pay attention to geopolitical risks. On Friday, Brent and WTI recorded significant growth, exceeding $74.80 and $70.2, respectively. At the beginning of the week, prices fell after a limited Israeli attack in response to rocket fire from Iran, but experts warned that the market «relaxed too quickly.» Despite some encouraging signals, including the American proposal for a cease-fire in Lebanon and Israel's stated willingness to respond decisively, market participants continue to anxiously observe the growing tensions in the region. The oil market will be under the close attention of investors in the near future, as a number of key events may significantly affect prices. Next week, the United States will hold presidential elections and a meeting of the highest legislative body in China. Also, the decision of OPEC+ to gradually resume production from December will have significant weight for the price trend.
