AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Conflicts between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Yemeni Houthis and tanker movement in the Strait of Hormuz threaten energy supply.

Font size

Oil prices rose above $106 on Wednesday, recouping the losses suffered in the previous session. The increasing tension in the Middle East caused upward pressure on oil.

SUPPLY CONCERNS INCREASED

Brent oil rose above $106 per barrel on Wednesday, compensating for its losses in the previous session. The increasing conflicts between Saudi Arabia and the Iranian-backed Houthis were effective in the upward movement of prices. Increasing concerns about supply disruptions in the Middle East supported oil prices upwards.

On Tuesday, Houthi militants in Yemen launched a missile attack on the headquarters of Saudi Aramco in Dhahran in eastern Saudi Arabia, causing a fire in part of the complex.

TANKER ATTACKS INCREASED

On the other hand, Tehran intensified its attacks on tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent oil was traded at $106.37 per barrel and West Texas Crude Oil was traded at $94.72 per barrel. News flow that Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu asked Trump to start bombing Iran again also contributed to the price increase.

Meanwhile, ING commodity analysts considered the Saudi energy minister's plans that the East-West pipeline could increase its capacity by 1.2 million barrels per day within a few months as negative news.

Open Questions

  • ?How will Saudi Arabia respond to the attacks?
  • ?How will tanker security in the Strait of Hormuz be ensured?
