Oil prices extended a strong rally with the official price of Oman crude for October delivery settling $8.13 higher at $89.12 per barrel on Tuesday compared to the price of on Monday which stood at $80.99 per barrel.

It is worth noting that the monthly average price of Oman crude oil for August delivery stood at $79.09 per barrel, declining by $22.91 from the July delivery price.

Analyst says this may be due to uncertainty over when the Strait of Hormuz may reopen and getting the global flow of crude going again.

Also, oil prices rose after US President Donald Trump scoffed at demands from Iran that the US pay for devastation caused by five months of war as one condition for reopening the strait.
