Middle East Tensions Drive Brent Crude Rise

Brent crude oil prices surged on Thursday, surpassing $108 per barrel for the first time since mid-May. The crude benchmark recorded an approximately 7% increase. This rise comes amidst ongoing navigation disruptions in the Middle East region, particularly in the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf. These developments coincide with an escalation of attacks targeting oil tankers and energy-related facilities, raising concerns about potential supply disruptions.
