Oil Prices Rise Amid Middle East Tensions
Oil prices rose today amid growing concerns over a potential escalation of conflict in the Middle East, which could threaten crude supplies from this key exporting region.
Brent crude futures increased by 94 cents, or 1.27 per cent, reaching US$74.84 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained 99 cents, or 1.41 per cent, settling at US$71.09 per barrel.
