Report summary
During January and into February the oil market has largely held a range of $75 to $81/bbl for Brent. Tensions in the Middle East are ratcheting up and missile strikes continuing with the US attacking Iran-backed militias and those same militias staging attacks on US troops. Despite the military action, the oil price during early February remains around $80/bbl.
