Prețul petrolului se apropie din nou de 100 de dolari pe baril, pentru prima dată în șase săptămâni

Oil prices have surged to their highest level in six weeks, nearing $100 per barrel, following Houthi attacks on tankers and U.S. military actions against Iran. Brent crude futures rose by 2.3% to $96.27, while West Texas Intermediate increased by 1.9% to $88.48. The rise is attributed to military operations by the Houthis against Saudi tankers and ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, controlled by Iranian forces. Additionally, U.S. strikes against Iran continue, with reports of explosions in several Iranian cities. Fuel prices in Romania reflect these trends, with gasoline and diesel prices nearing 10 lei per liter.
