Brent crude for October rose 0.2% to $88.72 a barrel in early Asian trade on Monday while September WTI slipped 0.1% to $82.35, leaving both benchmarks near the top of last week's 6% and 5.4% gains after attacks on ADNOC tankers and strikes on Saudi Aramco facilities revived geopolitical risk premiums. Visible traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell to five vessels on Saturday and zero on Sunday, but covert shuttle transfers, alternative pipeline routes, strategic reserve releases and weaker demand have kept crude moving and prevented a larger price spike. UAE officials accused Iran of attacking another ADNOC-operated vessel on Friday, and the standoff showed little sign of easing after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran had not decided whether to resume peace talks with the United States and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled fresh economic pressure measures. OPEC's latest demand downgrade, a sharp build in U.S. crude inventories and traders' reports of higher-than-expected shuttle volumes have kept the market caught between supply disruption risks and soft demand.
