Crude oil prices are experiencing significant volatility. Updates on the US-Iran war are significantly impacting crude oil prices. Let's check today's latest rates.

Crude Oil Price Today: When will crude oil fall below $90 a barrel? Tensions in Iran have caused oil prices to fluctuate.

Today, the price of crude oil reached $91.48 per barrel. Yesterday, it had reached $90 per barrel, after which investors were asking when the price of oil would fall below $90. Investors are waiting for an extension of the ceasefire period between the US and Iran and a comprehensive agreement during the peace talks meeting. If this happens, crude oil prices may see a decline soon. However, the US has denied the news of extending the two-week ceasefire.

Why are crude oil prices fluctuating?

1. Before tensions erupted in the Middle East, crude oil prices were below $70 per barrel.

2. As tensions escalated, prices have reached as high as $120 per barrel.

3. Oil prices fluctuate based on updates to the US-Iran tensions and statements by President Trump.

4. Currently, there are indications from the US that another round of peace talks may be held. These indications had pushed crude oil prices up to ₹90 per barrel.

5. However, after the US dismissed reports of extending the two-week ceasefire, oil prices are seeing a slight increase again today.

6. Oil supplies are being affected due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the blockade of Iranian ports by US troops.

When will we get relief?

As US President Donald Trump has already stated, once the tensions between the US and Iran end, crude oil prices will return to pre-war levels. However, no predictions are being made as to when the war will end. Even after the war ends, it will take time for oil supplies to return to normal. Oil refineries have also been targeted during this conflict, which could take considerable time to repair.

A recent report by brokerage firm Prabhudas Lilladher also stated that crude oil prices could remain high for a long time. Furthermore, several market experts have stated that if Middle East tensions do not resolve soon, the world could face a new economic crisis.
