Oh machang, you saw that news too ah? Basically, oil prices go up because the US is stuck with some situation—maybe production delays or policy issues—so supply gets tight and price jumps. When I was in Dubai, I noticed this kind of thing happens often when big countries like US have problems, market becomes nervous la. _(In plain English: Oil prices rise because the US is facing some kind of stall—like production or policy issues—which makes supply tighter and prices go up. From my experience in the Gulf, whenever the US has problems, the oil market reacts quickly.)_

Aney machang, oil prices went up because US is stalling on something—usually it's about supply deals or geopolitical tension la. When big countries like US don't move fast on production or sanctions, the market gets nervous and prices jump. I remember when I was in Dubai last year, same thing happened and fuel went up overnight. _(In plain English: Oil prices rise because when the US delays decisions on oil production or global policies, markets panic and prices go up. This is common when there's uncertainty in big economies.)_
