Ongoing US-Iran tensions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz kept crude prices elevated, as oil prices trended higher in September 2026 compared with the previous month. Brent mostly traded around or above $100 a barrel in September due to regional tensions.
Oil prices rose on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump denied that he was willing to ease sanctions on Iran, while Qatar pushed for peace talks. This came after prices fell in the previous session on a recovery in crude supplies from the Middle East.
On Wednesday morning, Brent and WTI were trading at $102.80 and $89.28 a barrel, respectively. Brent reached $107 a barrel on Tuesday amid an escalation in US-Iran rhetoric.
Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer at Century Financial, said the US-Iran impasse over the Strait of Hormuz had pushed oil prices higher and maintained pressure on the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again.
“After Trump rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the rate-sensitive Treasury two-year yield also climbed six basis points to 4.91 per cent,” he said, adding that oil remains a key market driver as elevated energy costs fuel inflationary pressures and expectations for further rate increases.
