Last week witnessed a significant rally in oil prices following Israel’s rejection of a ceasefire proposal from Hamas. The ongoing conflict has intensified, with Israel committing to continue its military offensive towards the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. This development has caused concern among investors and market observers, leading to increased volatility in the global oil markets.
The refusal to accept the ceasefire and the vow to press on with the offensive has heightened geopolitical tensions in the region, which historically has had a pronounced impact on oil prices due to the area’s significant role in global oil production and supply routes. The uncertainty surrounding the situation has prompted a surge in oil prices, as traders and investors brace for potential disruptions in oil supply. This rally underscores the sensitivity of energy markets to geopolitical events, especially in regions critical to the world’s oil supply.
