Oil's $100 comeback: Brent hits a three-month high as Red Sea tensions escalate

Oil prices surged back into the triple-digit range as tensions in the Red Sea escalated, with Brent crude reaching $100.79 per barrel—a three-month high. This increase followed claims by Yemen’s Houthi group that they attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, heightening fears of supply disruptions. The attacks intensified geopolitical concerns, leading to a sharp rise in both Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices. Domestic Indian crude futures also climbed nearly 6% as traders anticipated potential interruptions in Gulf oil exports. Analysts noted that the renewed conflict marks a significant resurgence in oil prices, driven by heightened geopolitical risks.
