This move is expected to proceed at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors meeting in Vienna this week. Iran has blocked UN nuclear inspectors from examining its uranium stockpile for 15 months since the Israeli airstrikes began in June 2025. Based on a two-page copy of a document, the US resolution demands that Iran "urgently rectify its non-compliance" and allow inspections to ensure that "nuclear material is not diverted." The last time Washington submitted Irans nuclear documents to the UN, Israel launched an attack on the countrys nuclear facilities within 24 hours, triggering a 12-day war. The current conflict began on February 28th, a day after the IAEA reported observing new activity near the bombed facilities.

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price is unchanged on Tuesday amid a weaker US Dollar and muted risk sentiment. WTI fell to a low of $72.31 on Monday as a result of a strong risk-off environment sparked by the repercussions from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Banks. Since then, the WTI price has risen significantly as a result of the Federal Reserve's plan to intervene. After reaching a peak of approximately $76 on Monday, the WTI price retreated as the dynamics of the US Dollar shifted.

 

The financial system is being harmed by rising borrowing costs around the world and growth concerns are being raised. The WTI price is in a corrective decline as the narrative of China's reopening does not appear optimistic, as the country has lowered its growth forecast to 5.0%.

 

The SVB debacle exacerbates global growth concerns, as it is interpreted as the first of many financial system dings. Due to rising financing costs, businesses are struggling to make their repayments, which will eventually result in a decline in demand.

 

Despite tightened production and numerous voluntary cuts from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the WTI price is struggling to surpass $80.

 

Oil prices are influenced by a number of variables, including the US dollar, inflation, OPEC, and global growth concerns. Considering the aforementioned factors, it is difficult to rationalize the directional nature of oil prices, but it appears that the oil market is primarily driven by development concerns.

 

Since these nations are struggling to maintain oil prices above the desired $80 mark, it will also be crucial to monitor the OPEC position on reduced oil prices.
