Oil prices rise above $100 amid Middle East tensions
Oil prices surged on Monday, with Brent crude surpassing $107 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) above $102, marking a significant increase fueled by escalating conflicts in the Middle East. The spike follows the temporary closure of Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline and attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, key factors disrupting supply routes.
The Oman government postponed a high-level meeting involving Iran and Gulf states concerning the Strait of Hormuz, further adding to regional uncertainty. Additionally, Iranian authorities reported a fatal incident involving a commercial vessel targeted in recent assaults.
Last Friday, Saudi Arabia shut down the East-West pipeline after drone strikes originating from Iraq hit the infrastructure. This pipeline served as an alternative to the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, intensifying concerns about oil supply stability in the global market.
