Oil Prices Fluctuate Amid Middle East Tensions and Houthi Attacks on Riyadh
Oil prices showed mixed movements amid rising Middle East tensions following missile and drone strikes by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi group on Riyadh. While one report noted Brent crude rising above $104 due to concerns over supply disruptions, another indicated Brent falling to around $103 despite ongoing threats between the US and Iran. India's retail fuel prices remained mostly stable, with minor city-wise variations in petrol and diesel rates. The situation reflects ongoing geopolitical uncertainty affecting global oil markets.
