Oil prices continued to rise early on Tuesday, rallying by 1.7% in Asian trade, as the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen are expanding their control over the west coast along the Red Sea, while the attacks on a key Saudi onshore oil pipeline triggered concerns about additional disruptions to already severely disrupted oil supply from the Middle East. \u00a0<\/p>\n

As of publication, \u041d\u0435\u0444\u0442\u044c \u043c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0438 Brent<\/a> prices were up by 1.67% in Asian trade at $107.45 per barrel. \u041d\u0435\u0444\u0442\u044c \u043c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0438 WTI<\/a> held above the $ 103-a-barrel mark it hit on Monday. The U.S. crude oil benchmark rose by 1.9% to $103.26.<\/p>\n

As it has become customary when oil prices rally above $100 a barrel, U.S. President Donald Trump posted<\/a> late on Monday that \u201cThe failing Nation of Iran wants to make a deal, quickly and badly. I will determine whether or not the U.S.A. will choose to engage – The concept of which we are open to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council, disputed President Trump\u2019s claim, saying,<\/a> \u201cDon\u2019t get distracted by the U.S. president\u2019s mixed signals – from ‘no negotiations’ to ‘we\u2019re ready to talk.’ The stakes around oil and the straits have changed. Damage control won\u2019t stop what\u2019s coming. No talks until Iran\u2019s conditions are met. Period!\u201d<\/p>\n

As hopes of talks fade, so did hopes of a wider regional agreement about the Strait of Hormuz. A meeting that was due to be held in Oman on Monday and had to involve Iran and other Persian Gulf states has been postponed.<\/p>\n

Last week’s attack on the East-West oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, a vital conduit to redirect the Kingdom\u2019s oil exports away from the Strait of Hormuz, has forced the Saudis to shut down the pipeline<\/a>. This has put further upward pressure on oil prices as the market fears the pipeline disruption could last for weeks and oil for export at Yanbu\u2019s storage tanks may run out before the pipeline restores full operations.<\/p>\n
