Oil Prices Decline from Six-Month Highs Amid Ongoing Attacks on Saudi Arabia
Oil prices fell on Monday after reaching near six-month highs last week amid ongoing attacks by Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia. US crude futures dropped to around $101.67 per barrel, and Brent crude fell to about $115.16. The attacks targeted Saudi airports and oil facilities, prompting supply concerns despite Saudi Arabia intercepting missiles and partially resuming airport operations. Brent crude rose 6% and WTI 2.3% over the past week amid these tensions. An unrelated oil spill was reported off the UAE coast.
