Crude Oil Prices Rise: WTI and Brent Extend Gains at European Open

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices edged higher at the start of the European session on Wednesday, continuing bullish momentum from the previous day. WTI is currently trading at $65.09 per barrel, up from Tuesday’s closing level of $64.72.

Brent Crude Also Rises Above $67

The Brent Crude Oil price, the global benchmark, also showed strength early Wednesday. Brent rose from $66.87 on Tuesday to trade around $67.23, supported by broader market optimism and lower geopolitical risk in the Middle East.

Market Sentiment Supports Energy Commodities

The gains in oil come amid easing tensions between Israel and Iran, helping reduce concerns over major supply disruptions. This risk-on sentiment has also supported other commodities and resource-linked currencies.

Key Price Levels:

  • WTI crude oil: $65.09 (current), up from $64.72 (previous close)
