GAS OIL Crude oil prices increased last week, supported by rising geopolitical tensions, discussions over U.S. fuel policy, and early signs of supply adjustments. The market reacted strongly to a Ukrainian drone strike on Russia’s strategic Novorossiysk export port, which temporarily halted shipments and prompted Transneft to suspend pipeline flows. As a result, Brent crude rose by 1% for the week, to settle at $64.39 a barrel.
