English summary

During the Asian-European session on Tuesday, oil prices extended gains with WTI up 1.5% to around $87, as US-Iran geopolitical tensions escalated around Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The US caps prices via supply controls and mine-sweeping escorts, while Iran supports prices with asymmetric tactics like mine-laying; crude is expected to remain range-bound.
