Crude oil prices rose globally on Monday as geopolitical tensions escalated in the Middle East. The international benchmark Brent crude for November delivery increased by less than 3 percent, reaching 107.5 dollars per barrel by late afternoon in Madrid.
Concurrently, the American benchmark West Texas Intermediate climbed 4.23 percent to settle at 104.28 dollars per barrel. This price movement was driven by an intensification of the conflict in the Red Sea region, where Houthi rebels from Yemen seized control of the strategic Bab al Mandeb strait.
