Saudi Pipeline Closure Boosts Crude Oil Futures
Crude oil futures resumed their rally after Saudi Arabia confirmed the temporary closure of its critical East-West oil pipeline following Friday's drone strike. The confirmation from Riyadh came on Monday, with no clear timeline for when the pipeline would reopen.
The pipeline is a key artery for oil shipments from the kingdom to global markets. Its closure has already led to concerns about supply disruptions and potential price spikes in crude oil futures.
