Crude Oil

Oil prices rose in early Asian trade on Thursday as persistent fears over escalating tensions in the Middle East outweighed easing concerns about transport disruptions as some global shipping firms said they were returning to the Red Sea route.

Brent crude futures climbed 20 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to $79.85 a barrel by 0133 GMT. US WTI crude futures were up 24 cents, or 0.3 per cent, at $74.35 a barrel.

Prices dropped nearly 2 per cent on Wednesday as major shipping firms began returning to the Red Sea. Crude oil prices experienced another decline on Wednesday, reversing earlier session gains, as a multi-national task force deployment in the Red Sea and the resumption of shipping traffic weighed on the market.

"Despite the temporary suspension of routes through the Suez Canal and Red Sea earlier this month due to the task force deployment, several dozen container vessels are expected to resume travel in the coming weeks. The anticipation of increased shipping activity contributed to the slip in crude oil prices. However, hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut and weakness in the dollar index could offer support to prices. The commodity finds support in the range of $73.70–73.10, with resistance at $74.90-75.60 for the current session. In INR, crude oil has a support level at Rs 6,110-5,980, while resistance is identified at Rs 6,290-6,380," said Rahul Kalantri, Vice President, Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.
