World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported26m ago
Oil prices fell early Friday for the third consecutive day amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding the critical shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb strait. The downward trend in crude markets follows a reduction in supply disruption concerns regarding Saudi Arabia, despite recent attacks between the kingdom and Houthi rebels.
Concurrently, amid broader global economic uncertainty, financial investors continue to utilize safe-haven assets such as precious metals and the US dollar to protect capital against inflation. The price of gold in Spain remains a focal point for individuals and businesses seeking financial refuge during volatile market conditions.
