Oil prices are down by about a percent today. Among other things, they are being pushed down by concerns about persistent inflation in the United States. Further declines are hampered by concerns about an escalation in the Middle East, where Israel has stepped up attacks in southern Gaza while a ceasefire deal remains uncertain.

At around 17:35 CEST, the price of Brent North Sea crude was down 0.9 percent and was trading at $82.62 per barrel. U.S. WTI crude was also down 0.9 percent at the same time, trading slightly below $77.80 a barrel.

The Israeli army took control of the Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, and its tanks entered the southern Gaza city of Rafah. Delegations from the Palestinian movement Hamas, Israel, Qatar, the United States and Egypt are currently negotiating a ceasefire in Cairo.

A cease-fire remains elusive, and even if reached, the question remains whether Houthi hostilities in the Red Sea would cease and whether the Suez Canal would be reopened, greatly reducing the risk to shipping throughout the region.” said PVM broker Tamás Varga.
