Preţurile petrolului au crescut luni dimineața după închiderea conductei saudite care ocoleşte Strâmtoarea Ormuz

Oil prices rose following Saudi Arabia's closure of the East-West pipeline, crucial for bypassing the Strait of Hormuz amid supply shortages. Brent crude increased over 1% to $107 per barrel, while WTI approached $103. The pipeline was damaged by drones from Iraq, and repairs could take months. If the closure lasts a month, the market could lose around 120 million barrels. Tensions escalated with the postponement of talks between Iran and Gulf states regarding the Strait. Houthi rebels have also strengthened their position near Bab el-Mandeb, threatening alternative export routes.
