Oil’s Tuesday slip and a second Black Sea merchant sinking off Bulgaria may show supply risk running on more than one sea

Brent fell 1.49% to $105.06 and WTI 1.86% to $92 early Tuesday, CNBC reported, as traders weighed more Russian diesel against Middle East risk. Overnight, drones hit two ships off Bulgaria and one sank; Prime Minister Rumen Radev said there was no conclusive evidence of who did it. Russia’s ambassador reportedly said she had no information from Moscow’s defense ministry; Ukraine blamed Russia. Together, they may show supply risk running on more than one sea.
