Oil Prices Decline from Six-Month Highs Amid Middle East Tensions and Supply Concerns
Oil prices fell from near six-month highs amid ongoing attacks by Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia, which have raised concerns about supply disruptions. US crude futures dropped to around $101.50 per barrel, while Brent crude declined to about $115. Despite the dip, prices remain elevated due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Diplomatic efforts involving the US, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and regional actors aim to ease hostilities, but renewed attacks and risks to key shipping routes continue to keep markets cautious.
