🚨 Middle East Tensions Push Oil Prices Higher as Hormuz Risks Persist

Rising regional tensions are putting energy markets on alert. Gulf stock markets recorded mixed performances as investors weighed oil-supply risks, while Brent crude settled at $109.86 per barrel on Friday, its highest level since May, according to Reuters. Iran’s foreign minister also said Tehran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within a week remained on the table. Any disruption to this critical shipping route could affect global energy prices, inflation, and financial markets.
