By:
Key Points:
- Crude oil holds above $93 as traders focus on shrinking inventories and delayed Hormuz recovery.
- IEA warns stockpiles are tightening as missing Gulf barrels keep supply concerns elevated.
- Traders are shifting focus from ceasefire talks to how quickly oil flows can actually recover.
Brent crude oil traded near $94 on Tuesday and West Texas Intermediate crude oil held above $93, but traders are starting to focus on a problem that diplomacy may not solve anytime soon. Negotiations between Washington and Tehran continue and both sides are still discussing a framework to reduce tensions. The market has heard plenty about talks over the last several weeks. Traders are starting to ask a different question. Even if a deal gets signed tomorrow, how long will it take to get the oil moving again?
