        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Oil prices rose again on Tuesday (28\/4\/2026) as\ninvestors monitored new signals from negotiations between the United\nStates (US) and Iran. Uncertainty over the potential easing of tensions\nbetween the two countries kept the market on edge.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, US President Donald Trump and his national security team\nhave discussed a proposal from Tehran to reopen the Strait of\nHormuz.<\/p>\n<p>The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose 1.13%\nto $97.46 US per barrel at 01.00 local time.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the price of Brent crude, the international benchmark,\nrose 1.20% to $109.53 US per barrel.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of last week, Brent oil prices rose more than 3% to over\n$109 US per barrel on Monday before dipping slightly again.<\/p>\n<p>One of the conditions put forward by Iran is that the US must lift\nthe blockade and end hostilities.<\/p>\n<p>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt explained that Trump has\nnot yet given certainty regarding the proposal, which is believed to be\nable to ease the conflict that has been ongoing since the beginning of\nthe year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can confirm that the president met with his national security team\nthis morning,\u201d she said, quoted from CNBC, Tuesday (28\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>President of Lipow Oil Associates, Andy Lipow, estimated that this\ndisruption encompasses around 20 million barrels per day of crude oil,\nfuel, and petrochemicals.<\/p>\n<p>Lipow even revealed that if the conflict ends in the near future,\nrestoring normal market conditions would take months.<\/p>\n<p>That time is needed to clear mines, reduce tanker congestion, and\ngradually restart production and refining.<\/p>\n<p>Taking into account delivery and distribution delays, he estimated it\nwould take at least four to six months for the oil market to\nstabilise.<\/p>\n<p>This is further compounded by the likelihood that prices will remain\nhigh during that period because supplies are approaching critical\nlevels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe longer the conflict lasts, the higher the prices, especially as\nsupplies dwindle to critical operational levels. If the conflict ends\ntomorrow, crude oil prices are expected to drop by $10 US per barrel,\u201d\nhe added.<\/p>\n<p>Lipow revealed that without new negotiations, WTI crude oil prices\nwould rise back to $100 US, while Brent crude would exceed $110 US.<\/p>",
