India, July 22 -- Global oil prices edged higher in early trading on Wednesday, July 22, as escalating military tensions between the United States and Iran heightened fears of potential supply disruptions across key energy shipping routes. Brent crude climbed above the $91 per barrel mark, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude traded close to $85 per barrel after the latest round of US strikes on Iranian military targets and fresh regional security concerns.

The gains came after oil prices settled at their highest levels in five weeks in the previous session, reflecting growing geopolitical risks in the Middle East and investor caution ahead of fresh US crude inventory data.
