ReutersMar 10, 2026 10:12 PM

- U.S. West Texas Intermediate CLc1 crude oil prices rose by $4.23 per barrel, or 5%, to $87.70 in early trade on Wednesday as supplies from the Gulf remain constrained amid U.S. and Israel's war on Iran.

On Tuesday, G7 energy ministers stopped short of agreeing on a release of strategic oil reserves, and French President Emmanuel Macron will host a video call with other G7 country leaders on Wednesday to discuss the impact of the conflict in the Middle East on energy and measures to address the situation.
