• WTI receives minor support due to increased fears over possible supply disruptions amid rising geopolitical tensions.
• Russia launched its largest airstrike on Ukraine in nearly three months.
• Biden allows Ukraine to use Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike inside Russia.

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil price holds steady above $67.00 per barrel during Monday's Asian trading session, reversing a recent decline as escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine heighten worries over possible supply disruptions.

Over the weekend, Russia launched its most significant airstrike on Ukraine in nearly three months. Moscow also stationed nearly 50,000 troops in Kursk, a southern Russian region. In addition, North Korea has sent thousands of its troops to Kursk as part of Russia's offensive. This move has raised alarm among US President Joe Biden and his advisers, with concerns that North Korea's involvement could usher in a perilous new phase in the conflict, according to CNN News.

Moreover, CNN News reported on Sunday, citing two US officials, that President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), powerful long-range American weapons, to carry out strikes within Russia.
