The price of Brent oil rose by 2.3% to $61.85/barrel, while WTI increased by 2.3% to $57.81/barrel, amid risks related to Venezuela and attacks in Ukraine.

Brent crude oil futures rose by $1.38, reaching $61.85 per barrel, while American WTI crude increased by $1.29, up to $57.81 per barrel. This rise in prices is influenced by the actions of the U.S. Coast Guard, which pursued a tanker suspected of being part of a network avoiding sanctions imposed on Venezuela. This is the third similar operation this month, in the context of President Trump announcing a 'blockade' of sanctioned tankers.

Analysts emphasize that the risks of disruption to oil exports from Venezuela are greater than anticipated, considering that Venezuelan oil accounts for about 1% of global supply. Additionally, Ukraine's drone attacks on Russian ships and port infrastructure in the Black Sea have heightened fears of further disruptions to oil deliveries.

Geopolitical tensions in Latin America and Eastern Europe have led investors to reassess supply risks, thus contributing to the rise in prices in international markets.
