Oil Prices Rise Amid Middle East Tensions and Houthi Attack on Saudi Refinery
Oil prices fluctuated amid ongoing Middle East tensions and diplomatic talks involving Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. Renewed missile attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis on Saudi Arabia's largest refinery raised concerns about supply disruptions, pushing Brent crude above $115 per barrel. While peace talks offered some optimism, persistent regional conflicts and geopolitical risks kept prices elevated. Market watchers also noted steady OPEC output targets and mixed US crude inventory data, contributing to cautious investor sentiment.
