  • Crude Oil Prices Rise on Iran Tensions and Inventory Data
    January 29, 2026, 3:22 AM EST. Crude oil prices climbed sharply on Wednesday, with March WTI crude hitting a four-month high and gasoline reaching a two-month peak. Prices gained after U.S. President Trump warned Iran to negotiate a nuclear deal or face a potential military strike, raising fears of supply disruptions from OPEC's fourth-largest producer. Crude also received support from U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data showing an unexpected drop in crude inventories and smaller-than-expected rise in gasoline supplies. Meanwhile, Russia dampened hopes for peace with Ukraine, ensuring ongoing sanctions that keep pressure on Russian oil. The dollar's strength capped gains. OPEC+ reaffirmed its plan to pause production increases in the first quarter of 2026 amid a global oil surplus. Market watchers await OPEC+'s upcoming meeting this weekend for output policy updates.
