Middle East Tensions Send Oil Prices Soaring to $64.41

Oil prices have been climbing as tensions in the Middle East remain high. The market is closely watching developments in the region, which could impact global oil supplies and prices. Oil prices were up on concerns about a potential conflict between the US and Iran, with prices reaching $64.41 per barrel for WTI crude oil. The situation remains fluid, but investors are taking precautions by increasing their exposure to safe-haven assets such as gold.
