Oil surges after US strikes Iran, tankers hit in Strait of Hormuz
–
Neutral summary
Oil prices rose more than 4% after the US struck mainland Iran and two supertankers carrying Saudi oil were hit by unknown projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz. The attacks occurred within minutes of each other as the vessels were transiting outbound, according to shipping intelligence firm Marisks. The incidents and renewed US-Iran hostilities fueled fears of supply disruptions through the strait, pushing oil to a five-week high. European gas prices also hit their highest level this year amid the escalation.
