MXMexican crude oil prices reached $89.26 per barrel, marking their highest level since July 23, with a 9.3% increase over four consecutive days of gains. This rise coincided with increases in U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude at $90.22 and the North Sea Brent crude at $94.65. Analysts attribute the price surge to new tensions in the Middle East, which have raised concerns about potential disruptions in energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. According to Banamex analyst Paulina Anciola, these geopolitical factors have led to upward revisions in projected average prices for both Brent and Mexican crude in the coming years. The Mexican hydrocarbon has seen a cumulative increase of 66.5% since the start of 2026, surpassing economic projections set by Mexico’s Ministry of Finance.
