Oil Prices Rise to Highest Level Since February 2025

Crude oil prices surged to $75.25 yesterday, marking their highest level since February 25, 2025. Prices have climbed approximately 10% from their March 5, 2025 low of $68.37 to yesterday’s peak of $75.25. Oil prices are currently hovering around $75 amid market uncertainty, driven by various conflicting factors.

Positive Factors Influencing Oil Prices:

  • India’s search for alternatives to Russian oil: India is looking for oil supplies from the Middle East, the North Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea following U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to impose sanctions on buyers of Russian oil. Notably, India imports 40% of its oil from Russia.
  • Additional tariffs on Iranian oil: Trump has threatened military action against Iran if it refuses to abandon its nuclear program, alongside the imposition of new tariffs.
  • Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East: Particularly in the Red Sea, rising geopolitical risks are adding to the risk premium in oil prices.
  • Increased demand for oil: China, the world’s largest oil importer, has been a key driver of demand. Recent Chinese economic data, including manufacturing and services PMI indicators, have exceeded expectations. Additionally, growing demand from refineries ahead of the summer season—when oil consumption typically rises—is further supporting prices.

Markets are closely watching today’s announcement from the Trump administration regarding new tariffs, as details on the targeted countries and specific measures remain unclear, adding to investor uncertainty in the oil market.

Technical Analysis:

Oil prices have successfully broken above the 50-day moving average (blue) at $73.67. The next key resistance level is the 200-day moving average (yellow) at $76.01. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 58, indicating continued bullish momentum for oil. Additionally, the MACD indicator shows a bullish crossover, with the MACD line (blue) crossing above the signal line (orange), reinforcing a positive outlook for oil prices.
