ارتفاع جديد في أسعار النفط.. والكشف عن سعر البرميل – صحيفة المرصد

Brent crude oil prices surpassed $107 per barrel on May 15, 2026, marking a 6% increase for the week, according to reporting from Investing.com.

The price surge coincided with a jump of more than 3% after Donald Trump confirmed his impatience regarding Iran, as reported by Al Arabiya.

Geopolitical Tensions and Market Volatility

Market analysts have attributed the recent upward trajectory of oil prices to escalating tensions with Iran. Investing.com reported that these geopolitical frictions contributed to the weekly climb, pushing Brent crude above the $107 threshold.

The immediate spike of over 3% was specifically linked to public statements from Donald Trump regarding his lack of patience with the Iranian government, according to Al Arabiya.

Supply Warnings and Global Reserves

Adding to the market pressure, CNN Arabic reported that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) issued a warning regarding a record shrinkage in oil reserves. This warning regarding depleted stockpiles has intensified concerns over global supply stability.

Diplomatic Focus in Beijing

While geopolitical tensions in the Middle East drove prices higher, investors also shifted their attention to diplomatic developments in Asia. Asharq Al-Awsat reported that market participants are focusing on a meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing.

The outcome of the discussions between the leaders of the United States and China is being monitored for potential impacts on global trade and energy demand.
