Analyst: Oil prices may continue to be influenced by news reports in the short term

Previously, ceasefire negotiations failed to reach a lasting agreement, prompting the United States to announce maritime restrictions on ships entering and leaving Iranian ports. The market's reaction highlights a simple yet powerful fact: risks in the Strait of Hormuz are not theoretical, but structural and real.
