The prospects for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remain uncertain, and oil prices are showing a tug-of-war trend.

BlockBeats News, May 5 — Due to the market awaiting clarity on the reopening prospects of the Strait of Hormuz, crude oil futures prices continued to show a tug-of-war trend. Analyst Nikos Chabrulas stated in a report that recent outbreaks of hostilities could undermine the ceasefire agreement, thereby maintaining the risk premium.

He added that as the conflict persists, crude oil prices are still expected to reach new highs, but long-term energy shocks have increased the risk of demand destruction, “which could ultimately undermine the upward momentum of crude oil.” (Jin10)
