Crude's Geopolitical Premium: A Three-Day Spike and Fade

Renewed Middle East tensions pushed WTI crude from $72.35 to $74.15 over two sessions, with MCX Crude jumping from ₹6885 to ₹7073 as the market priced in a fresh supply-risk premium. By day three the premium began fading — WTI eased back to $72.29 and MCX Crude retreated to ₹6913 — even as copper signaled a broader industrial recovery, fracturing the unified fear-trade narrative.
