Oil Prices Surge Amid Iran-US Uncertainty, Expert Says Outcome Unclear
Sometimes the price of oil goes up and down.
Right now, oil prices are going up.
People are worried because two countries, Iran and the United States, do not agree with each other.
When countries disagree, the cost of oil can change.
A person who knows a lot about oil is named Peter McGuire.
He said it is very hard to know what will happen next.
He said, 'the market is the market.'
That means prices change for many reasons.
He also said people thought oil was too cheap before, so prices went back up.
Right now, no one is sure what will happen, so we will have to wait and see.
Oil prices surged amid uncertainty over Iran-US relations.
Global oil expert Peter McGuire said the market outcome is difficult to predict.
McGuire remarked, "the market is the market," noting that much is unknown.
He said the market was determined to be oversold.
The expert added that Iran and the United States hold very different views, leaving multiple possible outcomes.
