🚨 **BREAKING: Oil Prices Surge as Saudi Pipeline Shut Down**

Brent crude jumped over 3%, trading near $108/barrel after Saudi Arabia shut down its critical East-West pipeline following a drone attack.

📍 Key details:
- Pipeline carries crude from Abqaiq to Yanbu (Red Sea) — Saudi Arabia's only export route that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz
- Attack comes amid the ongoing Iran conflict, which has already disrupted regional oil supply
- WTI crude also up ~2.8%, trading near $103/barrel
- Pipeline has capacity of 7 million barrels/day — a major buffer for global supply

⚠️ Analysts warn this removes a key "safety valve" that's been stabilizing oil markets since the Hormuz tensions began.
