The price of oil and the performance of Wall Street

International oil prices register a sharp increase this Thursday, May 28, 2026, after new attacks related to the conflict between the United States and Iran.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed to have attacked a US air base in response to recent military operations in Bandar Abbas. In addition, doubts persist about a possible agreement that would allow the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important oil routes in the world.

With all this context, Brent oil is trading at $97.14 dollars per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is at $91.44 dollars per barrel. A considerable highlight, after the previous days an alleged draft of a possible agreement between the US government and Tehran had been leaked.

However, Wall Street has maintained a positive trend despite global uncertainty, driven mainly by strong business results and enthusiasm around artificial intelligence.

Analysts believe that many technology companies continue to post higher-than-expected profits, a situation that has strengthened the US stock market even amid concerns about inflation, interest rates and geopolitical tensions.
