Oil prices have increased, with Brent crude reaching $110.87 per barrel, despite OPEC's reduced demand growth forecast for 2026. Supply issues persist due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which is impacting global oil stocks. Meanwhile, Fluor reported a significant drop in Q1 adjusted EPS, falling to $0.14 from $0.73 the previous year, affected by project charges and legal challenges.
