According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the increase in oil reserves in the United States has allowed stability in international oil prices. In addition, the market is optimistic about a possible peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, which would increase the supply of crude oil worldwide.
Another key factor is the ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas group, which has facilitated a better mobility of supply through the Red Sea, helping to stabilize the prices of oil derivatives.
