Now to write the story on the technical analysis charts.
Oil prices had a rise for the week, tensions in the middle east continue.
Market drivers
Oil prices post weekly gains amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Oil futures rose for a fifth consecutive session on Friday, with Brent and WTI prices posting strong weekly gains after escalating tensions in the Middle East contributed to a significant rise in benchmark crude prices over the past week.
Brent crude oil prices continued to rise on Friday and moved above the $82 per barrel threshold, after advancing more than 6% in the past five sessions, as Israel launched new airstrikes in Gaza and rejected Hamas’ offer of a ceasefire.
Oil prices rose temporarily on tensions in the Middle East following the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas in early October, but prices have failed to break out of a range as the conflict has yet to cause a major disruption to crude supplies. Both Brent and WTI are trading well below the 2023 highs set in late September, according to FactSet data.
However, Brent back above the $80 a barrel level could trigger “a bit of nervousness about inflationary pressures,” a team of strategists at Deutsche Bank led by Jim Reid said in a note to clients on Friday.
