Saudi Strikes Send Oil Prices Soaring
Oil prices surged on Monday after new strikes were reported in Saudi Arabia and at the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude futures jumped $3.62, or 3.46%, to $108.23 per barrel as of 22:14 GMT (Sunday), while WTI futures rose $3.15, or 3.15%, to $103.20 per barrel.
The strikes on Sunday caused concerns about global oil supply and sent shockwaves through the market. The increase in oil prices is likely to have a ripple effect on other commodities and may also impact inflation rates.
