Brent crude prices have risen above $102 per barrel driven by escalating geopolitical risks in the Middle East, including US Navy carrier deployment and attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, alongside China's suspension of oil product exports that tightens global diesel markets.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Energy Storage.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Oil traders and energy-focused founders face a tighter supply environment as China’s halt on fuel exports and Middle East tensions increase price volatility; consider adjusting supply chain strategies now to mitigate sudden cost rises.
