Brent Crude Hits $110 Amid Middle East and Russia-Ukraine Supply Concerns
Brent crude oil prices reached $110 per barrel for the first time since May amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflicts. Attacks by Iran-backed Houthi militants on Saudi Arabia and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have raised concerns over global oil supply. Additionally, strikes on Russian energy infrastructure and uncertainty over a proposed Russian diesel release have contributed to market volatility. These developments have driven oil prices higher, impacting global markets and raising concerns about supply stability.
