Oil Prices Rose Again After Recent Drops, Influenced by Geopolitical Tensions, Supply Risks, and Possible Pressure from the G7 on India and China.

On the morning of Friday, September 12, 2025, oil prices showed recovery. The movement reversed the drops recorded in the previous session, when the market reacted to fears of weakening demand in the United States and oversupply globally.

At 7:37 AM (Brasilia time), November Brent crude futures were up 1.15%, reaching US$ 67.13 per barrel.

Meanwhile, October WTI crude futures rose 0.95%, trading at US$ 62.96.

Political Pressure Influences Prices

One of the main factors behind the recovery was the news that the United States government, under the leadership of Donald Trump, was pressuring the G7 to impose higher tariffs on India and China for purchasing Russian oil.

According to the Financial Times, finance ministers from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States were set to discuss the proposal today via videoconference. The suggested tariffs would be at elevated levels, ranging between 50% and 100%.

This political scenario adds volatility to the market, as tougher measures against importers of Russian oil could reshape global energy flows.

In addition to tariff pressures, investors are closely monitoring supply risks caused by conflicts in different regions. On Friday, a drone attack on the Russian port of Primorsk caused a fire on a vessel and at a pumping station. The incident was the first confirmed attack on Russia’s important oil and fuel export terminal.

Meanwhile, in the Middle East, the UN Security Council condemned an Israeli attack in Doha that targeted Hamas leaders. The body emphasized that the action violated Qatar’s sovereignty and could jeopardize fragile mediation efforts for peace in Gaza.

Supply Under Pressure in Asia

In Asia, new trade barriers are also emerging. The Adani Group, India’s largest private port operator, announced a ban on the entry of tankers sanctioned by the United States, the United Kingdom, or the European Union. This measure could further restrict India’s access to Russian oil, adding uncertainties to the supply chain.

Given this set of factors — political tensions, supply risks, and changes in international logistics — the oil market remains in constant fluctuation. With each new event, investors adjust expectations and reevaluate the impacts on production, demand, and prices in the global landscape.

Supply Under Pressure in Asia

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

Brazil joins a 5-year international mega project to combat plastic pollution on the coast with scientific monitoring, new environmental policies, and integrated actions that promise to reduce waste in strategic coastal cities of the country.

Workers were digging to build a railway in northern Mexico and found beneath their feet a 1,200-year-old village with underground houses, ancient burials, and rock engravings.
