Maintained OPEC+ quotas combined with Middle East supply disruptions are likely to push WTI crude prices higher. BZ: Middle East production disruptions affect Brent more directly due to its pricing reliance on the region. Supply disruptions from Middle East conflict plus steady OPEC+ quotas should support Brent crude prices.
