Iran-Krieg: Ölpreise steigen nach Trumps Absage an Iran
US-Präsident Donald Trump hatte einen iranischen Friedensvorschlag zur Öffnung der Straße von Hormus abgelehnt. Die Ölexporte aus dem Nahen Osten erholten sich zuletzt leicht.
The Handelsblatt reports that oil prices surged by over 1% on Monday following US President Donald Trump's rejection of an Iranian peace plan to open the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude rose 1.3% to $105.64 per barrel, while US Light Crude Oil (WTI) increased 0.8% to $93.11. Iran had proposed the plan via Qatar mediators the previous week, but Trump declined it in a weekend statement, though indicating further negotiations could occur this week.
Despite the stalled diplomacy, geopolitical risks in the region remain high due to ongoing rocket and drone attacks by Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia, according to analysts. However, crude oil exports from the Middle East saw a slight recovery, reaching 12.8 million barrels per day in September, the highest since the war began in February, according to Kpler data.
The rise is primarily attributed to rerouted shipments from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Nonetheless, regional exports are still six million barrels per day below pre-war levels due to the conflict. The Strait of Hormuz, which previously handled about 20% of global oil and gas supply, remains critically important.
