Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Friday that they had targeted and destroyed a US early-warning radar system in Bahrain, in response to an airstrike on a telecommunications tower in southern Iran. The IRGC threatened further escalation if the attacks continued, and warned companies involved in oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz to expect harsher consequences.
Meanwhile, the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil fell by 0.65% to $87.47, influenced by various factors including global growth, OPEC decisions, the US Dollar's value, and weekly oil inventory reports. Global supply and demand, along with political instability, wars, and sanctions, are key drivers of WTI oil prices.
The value of the US Dollar also impacts the price of WTI Crude Oil, as it is primarily traded in US Dollars.
