Oil Prices Spike as US Inflation Concerns Ease and Geopolitical Tensions Rise Oil prices surged as recent US data revisions indicated that inflation pressures are decreasing, sparking optimism that the Federal Reserve may lower interest rates later this year. The price of West Texas Intermediate oil climbed above $77 a barrel, driven by a mix of factors including the S&P 500 hitting new highs, increased geopolitical risks, and technical trading patterns.
