Petrolul sare pragul de 100 de dolari pe baril - Economica.net

Oil prices rose on Wednesday due to escalating Middle East conflict and Houthi attacks, raising concerns about regional oil supply. Brent crude surpassed $100 for the first time since July 27, driven by diminishing hopes for a resolution. Saudi authorities halted operations at some energy facilities following Houthi strikes that injured over 70 people. The Saudi-led coalition warned of a strong response to the recent escalation, which poses risks to OPEC's stability. Major banks have increased their oil price forecasts amid ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting extraction activities in the region.
