US-Iran Conflict Drives Crude Prices to 5-Month High
Global crude oil prices surged by 8.4% during the week of September 6-11, with Brent breaching the $100 per barrel mark for the first time since mid-May.
The rise was triggered by escalating military hostilities between the US and Iran, which led to supply disruption fears across the Middle East.
Brent crude peaked at approximately $108 per barrel on Thursday, September 10, while WTI rose above $104 per barrel for the first time in months.
