Oil climbs on Saudi strikes and Hormuz standstill, signaling tight markets
TL;DR
Oil prices rose as attacks on Saudi energy facilities cut output by about 600,000 barrels per day and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained near standstill; Brent traded around $96.50 and WTI around $98 as markets weigh a fragile US‑Iran ceasefire and ongoing supply disruptions, with the week’s losses already at about 11% and refining capacity offline.
