Middle East1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported4m ago
Oil prices experienced significant volatility on Monday, with Brent crude nearing USD 110 per barrel following a series of drone attacks in the Persian Gulf and the closure of a critical pipeline in Saudi Arabia. Prices initially surged by nearly 5% before moderating following official statements. The market reaction was driven by heightened regional tensions and concerns over supply chain stability.
The disruption involves the East-West pipeline, a strategic infrastructure asset that allows Saudi Arabia to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. Regional officials have indicated that repairs to the pipeline are expected to take between three and five weeks, prolonging the pressure on global oil markets.
