Crude oil prices inched higher as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz increased gradually, signaling firmer near-term supply conditions despite ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. Offsetting this, OPEC agreed to increase output, which likely limited how far gains could extend. Overall, the news flow suggests a modest, mixed near-term driver for oil rather than a major market shock.
