Oil prices experienced fluctuations on Tuesday, rebounding from a previous 1% drop, fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that raised concerns about oil supply.

Brent crude futures saw a modest rise of 7 cents, reaching $82.46 per barrel by 0734 GMT. Meanwhile, U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude increased by 15 cents, or 0.31%, reaching $76.93 per barrel.

The previous session witnessed a decline of over $1 in both contracts due to growing apprehensions about demand from China, prompted by a deepening real estate crisis and the liquidation order of China Evergrande Group by a Hong Kong court.

Suvro Sarkar, the energy sector team lead at DBS Bank, noted, “Oil price trading above US$80/bbl is pricing in some geopolitical risk premium again as flare-ups continue in the Middle East region. This could fade out within a week or two if there is no strong reaction from the US.”

He added that in the scenario of an escalation into a US-Iran standoff with stricter sanctions, oil prices could sustain in the range of US$80-100/bbl for some time.

Washington’s commitment to taking “all necessary actions” in response to a deadly drone attack in Jordan by Iran-backed militants heightened market concerns. This incident marked the first U.S. military deaths since the Israel-Gaza war began.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia analyst Vivek Dhar highlighted the vulnerability of Iran’s oil supply to potential increased enforcement of sanctions. He noted that Iran’s oil exports, representing 1-1.5% of global oil supply, could be adversely impacted.

However, concerns about China’s economic outlook, particularly in the aftermath of Evergrande’s liquidation order, limited the gains in oil prices. Analysts expressed worries about potential negative ramifications in China’s stock and property markets, leading to deeper deflationary risks and impacting oil demand.

Looking ahead, an OPEC+ meeting on February 1 is not expected to make decisions on oil policy for April. Nonetheless, analysts hope for insights into production plans. Saudi Arabia’s state oil company, indicating future demand outlook, received a directive to maintain its maximum sustainable capacity at 12 million barrels per day, refraining from further increases to 13 million barrels per day.

Analyst Leon Li from CMC Markets emphasized the need for more fundamental factors to stimulate oil prices, cautioning that WTI crude oil might face downward pressure at $80 without such developments.
