Trump's Comments Fuel Oil Price Spike as Iran Tensions Rise
US oil prices rose nearly 80 cents to $90.97 per barrel on October 1, while Brent oil increased by a similar amount to $99.75.
The surge was attributed to comments from Donald Trump, who suggested that the bombing of Iran might intensify after the US midterm elections.
This development sparked concerns about potential instability in the Middle East and its impact on global energy markets.
