The recent rise in oil prices is observed against the backdrop of deteriorating conditions in the Middle East. In particular, the price of Brent crude has reached $80 per barrel, and experts do not rule out that it may rise to $100. According to IA Reuters, the main factors contributing to this are the airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel on Iran, as well as Iran's measures regarding the restriction of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Experts point to these events as the main reasons for the potential price increase.
