oil Prices Rebound Amid US Demand and Mideast Ceasefire
updated June 27, 2025
New York-Oil prices experienced a surge Wednesday, climbing almost 2% as investors reacted to strong U.S. demand and developments surrounding a potential ceasefire between Iran and Israel. This increase marks a recovery from a sharp decline earlier in the week.
Brent crude futures increased by $1.22, reaching $68.36 a barrel at 12:50 p.m. EDT.west Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose $1.25 to $65.62 a barrel. Both benchmarks partially recovered from losses of 13% earlier in the week.
The market had seen Brent settle at its lowest since June 10 and WTI at its lowest since June 5 after President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire Tuesday, easing concerns about Middle East supply disruptions.
Prior to the ceasefire declaration, oil prices had risen sharply following Israel’s June 13 attack on Iranian military and nuclear sites. Prices then peaked after the U.S. military targeted Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.
ING analysts noted that while concerns about Middle Eastern supply have eased, they have not disappeared entirely. They added that a stronger demand for immediate supply remains a factor in the market.
What’s next
Market watchers will continue to monitor the stability of the ceasefire and assess upcoming economic data for further indications of U.S. demand to determine the future direction of oil prices.
